Polka dot dresses - charm and femininity

The pea print is considered feminine and elegant. Polka dot outfits remain relevant for many years, allowing you to create both a modern and a retro look.
Let's discuss what polka-dot dresses are, what accessories are suitable for them, and also what colors of polka-dot dresses are most in demand among fashionistas.




Who is it for?
A pea dress is called a versatile outfit, since this print is suitable for girls with any type of figure. In addition, it suits both young ladies and older ladies.


If a dress with a pea pattern is chosen for a girl with lush parameters, a combination of peas of different sizes would be a good option.

On a full figure, elongated and oval peas look beautiful, as well as medium peas, located chaotically or with different densities. In addition, a pea dress for a plump girl should be chosen with a dark base, for example, navy blue, black or burgundy.



Peculiarities
Polka dot dresses are very diverse. They can differ in both the cut and the size of the peas and color combinations. You can choose the right pea outfit for any shape and for any occasion.



Styles
Models of dresses with pea print are presented in sheath dresses, cocktail dresses, light sundresses, shirt dresses, floor-length dresses, trapezoidal dresses and several dozen more options. Such a wide variety is due to the fact that peas are well suited for different occasions, and also look attractive on women of any class and age.




When choosing a suitable style of dress with polka dots, consider the following nuances:
- If the peas are large, the silhouette of the outfit should be simple.
- Slightly elongated large peas will make the figure visually slimmer.
- To create accents on certain parts of the body, you can use combinations of small peas with large ones.
- If you have a thin waist, choose a fitted polka dot dress that will help accentuate this part of your figure.
- Girls with an "hourglass" figure are allowed to choose absolutely any style of dress for themselves, young ladies - "pears" are advised to wear a pea dress with bare shoulders or "flashlight" sleeves, and with an "upper triangle" figure, the best choice would be a polka-dot dress with a fluffy skirt ...


With sleeve
The long dress model with polka dots with long sleeves looks elegant and at the same time strict. Retro dresses with large polka dots are also available with three-quarter sleeves. Airy chiffon outfits can have voluminous sleeves, as well as "lantern" sleeves.



Fabrics
The polka dot print is featured on a variety of fabrics, contributing to a wide range of polka dot dress options. Summer models are sewn from chiffon, cotton, cambric or poplin. Elegant dresses with polka dots are created mainly from satin, trimmed with tulle, organza or lace.




Everyday
Black and white variations of polka dot dresses are the most versatile, therefore they are often presented in dresses for every day. In the office, you can wear a dress with small peas, complementing it with a comfortable cardigan, a bright belt and a bag with a long strap. A safe option would be a pea dress in pastel colors, to which you should choose accessories in the color of the tone.


As a casual option for a dress with a pea print, bright models presented in blue, red, yellow or green are also suitable. They can be supplemented with ethno ornaments and a woven handbag.




Evening
The pea pattern in the outing looks elegant and very romantic. Such a print is played up with the help of different options for sleeves and necklines, as well as a belt. In the decoration of an evening dress with polka dots, lace or bows are often found. A pea dress for an exit can be long to the floor or with a mini skirt. It can be a fluffy dress with a corset, and a strict sheath dress.


Large peas
Thanks to the large pea print, the figure can be given more volume, and if such a pattern is only in a certain part of the outfit, it helps to emphasize certain elements, for example, on the bodice of the dress. That is why girls with curvaceous forms should avoid dresses with too large polka dots, especially if the basis of the outfit is white.





Small peas
Drawing in small peas helps to hide curvaceous forms, so a dress with such a print will successfully hide figure flaws. In addition, a small polka dot print is a good option for an office wardrobe, especially if the outfit is presented in pastel colors.



Length
Long
Polka-dot floor-length dresses are usually made from flowing light types of fabric, for example, from light chiffon or cotton that is pleasant to the body. An elegant floor-length dress with a pea pattern is most often represented by satin models. If such a dress is intended for special occasions, it can have a long hem or a graceful slit.


Midi
Pea dress models with medium length are suitable for any look and are used for any style. Midi dresses can be a wonderful choice for a special occasion. Plus, the mid-length polka dot dress is great for business women.




A short
Spectacular models of a dress with a pea print with a mini skirt are most often chosen for the holiday, although there are also everyday models with a short length (they are preferred by slender young girls). Short pea dresses can have different sleeve lengths and different necklines. Often there are dresses with spaghetti straps or one shoulder.

Blue and blue
A polka dot dress with a blue base looks impressive thanks to its contrast. It is important to remember that blue outfits are not suitable for all skin types - they should be avoided for spring and autumn types. The main tone of the blue dress with peas is of different shades - from delicate blue to rich dark blue, and the size of the peas is selected depending on the nuances of the figure. Leather accessories will be an excellent addition to a blue polka-dot dress, and a bag and silver-colored shoes for a blue dress.

Polka dots on a yellow background can be either light (white or lighter yellow) or dark (brown or black). Complement your yellow pea dress with a pea belt and bag, and yellow or black shoes.




Retro style
If you want a sophisticated retro look, a polka dot dress will be one of the most successful options. For a retro look, choose a black and white outfit with a fluffy skirt, pumps, a white belt and white gloves. Red lipstick and a tall hairstyle will help complete this look.







What to wear with?
A casual pea dress can be worn with a leather jacket or knit sweater. An elegant polka-dot dress with an open neckline can be accompanied by a bolero, a plain jacket or an elegant coat. In this case, the best option is to choose a thing to match the peas.



Which belt is right?
Thanks to the monochromatic belt, the pea pattern will become more expressive and lively, and the bright belt will turn into a bright accent, shifting the attention to itself. On a black dress with polka dots, a white, red or green belt looks spectacular, on a yellow dress - a black belt, and on a blue one - brown.


Shoes
For a polka dot dress in a retro style, the best choice would be sandals or shoes with tight heels or wedges. Ballet flats are also a good option, and in cool weather a pea dress can be worn with boots.



It is best to choose simple and monochromatic shoes for a pea outfit. Overly complex models of shoes with an abundance of straps, high heels or bright decor do not go well with such a colorful dress. The shade of shoes for a dress with polka dots can be chosen both in the tone of the main color of the dress, and in the tone of the peas. At the same time, beige or black shoes will suit almost any pea dress, and red shoes will be a great addition to the black and white version of the pea print.


Accessories
- For a dress with large peas, do not pick up many accessories. One large object and several small ones are enough. The use of multi-color accessories is also not recommended.
- A classic black and white pea outfit is often complemented with a belt and large beads in the same tone. When choosing beads for such a dress, you should make sure that the size of the beads does not exceed the size of the peas.
- Along with a pea print, ethno jewelry with bright stones, threads and leather inserts will be a good choice.
- For a summer airy dress with polka dots, you can wear a headband of bright color, trimmed with a chiffon bow.
- An elegant pea dress will look gorgeous with a string of pearls, a bracelet and earrings.
- A bag for a dress with polka dots is selected depending on the style of the outfit. The casual model of a pea dress is complemented with a sack bag, and an envelope or clutch bag should be taken with an evening dress with polka dots. At the same time, the color of the bag should be dim, since the peas on the outfit already attract enough attention.




Small peas are much more beautiful than large ones.
Polka dot dresses are so playful and feminine! I love this print. I used to pay more attention to black and white options, but now I just fell in love with polka dots on blue.
