polka dot yellow dress by Straight Up Jankey

Another round of polka dot fashion, but first draft in yellow.  The last yellow polka dot dress by "Straight Up Jankey" is a bit too short for my taste, although she wears it well and i love the dot size, belt and button down combo.

Early Polka Dot Fashion

Woman wearing a Hollywood-inspired dress in the 1930's. The polka dot dress has short sleeves and a wide collar, with a wide, striped belt around the waist and four large buttons securing it at the front. It is accessorised with a light cloth hat, and a scarf tied at the throat.

Emma, Queen consort of Kamehameha IV, 1836-1885.
Her dress is a black polka-dot holoku.

Optional woman's Centennial dress, 1972.

This uniform was instituted on March 20, 1972, for the Centennial of the Nation's parks. It served as a companion piece for the men's optional urban dress. There are several photographs showing women wearing this dress. It appears to match the scarf which would make it off-white with orange polka-dots.
