This season, we've seen plenty of updates to the classic polka dot. The timeless print has been refreshed countless times so far this year, and while it’s not especially groundbreaking, it’s all about updating the colour palette. Monochrome dotty prints have gradually been replaced by spotty motifs in unique colour combinations, with brown and blue paving the way last month. Naturally, plenty of high street favourites, from M&S to Next, have jumped on the trend.
Now, the dotted print has taken on a more feminine feel. Instead of brown and blue, we’re seeing an influx of brown and pink. Leading the charge? Nobody’s Child - whose brand-new version of their Atlas dress - an airy summer midi that flatters a variety of silhouettes - perfectly captures how wearable and flattering this combination can be.
Featuring frilly, feminine sleeves that fall flatteringly on the arms, the dress is a key swishy staple you’ll rely on throughout spring and into the warmer summer months. Designed with a V-neckline, it looks incredibly polished, complemented by underbust seams and a lined bodice for comfortable wear.
Speaking of comfort, the dress is also adjustable, with tie-back detailing that allows you to cinch in the waist. The waistband is elasticated too, so no discomfort after a meal out with friends and family, either.
As with the majority of Nobody’s Child dresses, inclusivity is king. Available in sizes 4 - 24, (though it’s selling out quickly) as well as in petite and regular lengths, it’s an ideal option for anyone looking to upgrade their polka dot collection this year.
For day-to-day wear, pair the dress with Mary Jane trainers, the latest fashion hybrid that combines comfort and style. For more sophisticated occasions, or if you’re planning a trip to the Med this summer, style it with kitten heel flip-flops that you can wear all night long.
And if your size isn't available in this polka-dot midi, you might want to head over to M&S for its take on the pink polka-dot tea dress.
