SEEING SPOTS: My Favorite Polka-Dots Picks

Lucille Ball was an original superstar and a cover girl for Max Factor in the 1930's and 1940's, but it was her breakout role in "I Love Lucy" that brought her recognition and fame and attention to her signature polka-dots dresses she wore on the show. Nothing is more timeless than polka-dots and like Lucy you can't go wrong.

I love the deep-cut collar and dickey detail of this fitted hourglass dress;
and the large olive green dots -my favorite color.

Vintage 1950's Linen Crepe Polka Dot Cocktail Dress @ Mill Street Curated Vintage on 1stdibs.com
I adore this navy blue dress; especially the front-bow detail and the flare skirt is so pretty. The linen top and chiffon skirt fabrics really compliment each other. The dress is flirty and elegant at the same time.
