I don't even have one but I have my eye on one on ebay (I'm not posting it here because I don't want any lurkers outbidding me). I was expecting to get a traditional, vintage looking one...and this one is very modern, but I'm in love with it. Lots of yummy examples here.

I love polka dot dresses too. I don't have any right now, and that Helene Berman dress is killing me - I noticed it the other day on the web site. I would also love something navy with white polka dots - I used to have a dress like that way back and still miss it. yublocka on "The polkadot dress thread" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-polkadot-dress-thread#post-136626 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:47:53 +0000 yublocka 136626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh I love polka dot dresses! This thread is a treat to read. I just worked out I have 4 already (5 if I keep that express one), so I really shouldnt get too gooey over any of these, should I? marianna on "The polkadot dress thread" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-polkadot-dress-thread#post-136615 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:10:22 +0000 marianna 136615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lane Bryant has a super cute polka dot shirt dress: <a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/apparel-accessories/shirt-dresses/button-front-polka-dot-shirt-dress/4018c15762p58418/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.lanebryant.com/appa...../index.pro</a> bella on "The polkadot dress thread" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-polkadot-dress-thread#post-136614 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 23:09:40 +0000 bella 136614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hanna, that second illusion optical dress is super cute.

I think you should get it, but when have I ever talked someone OUT of getting something? Marianna, I'm sorry if that was a poorly worded question. I know you sometimes go between regular and plus so I just wanted to know if that dress would indeed not work for Michelle.

But the one in the store is so great, I'm seriously considering another one. Polka dots are great!

I already checked Daddy-O's as well, which is a similar site for those of us in the US. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/H-M-Black-White-Polka-Dot-Polyester-S-S-Dress-sz-2_W0QQitemZ360244476359QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Dresses?hash=item53e03e79c7" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/H-M-Black-.....53e03e79c7</a> That one is either the same or extremely similar to the one Debora's DD has. Now that I look at it, I doubt those chest pockets would do me any favors.

Marianna, yours would obviously be too small for me, but have you seen anything that could work in your travels?

I believe it was $29, plus they always have printable coupons online. I don't see it on the website. It's by Apt 9.

In case you will lose sleep over it, the reason I decided against getting the one Hanna has is because the reviews said there was not a lot of room in the chest, and I need a WHOLE lot of room in the chest. Sigh. Soooooo post any and all polka dot frocks you come across here. If you can't find a link online, just post the details (where you found it, what brand, how much it cost, and what it looked like). You don't have to post ones that will only suit me, of course. This thread is for everyone!
