The Elegant High-Street Dress I Want to Wear All Summer Long Is Back in an Elegant New Shade
From city to seaside, bring a polished edge to summer dressing with the Nobody's Child polka-dot dress.


Take a peek at the fashion circles right now, and you may notice that one overlooked print is having a revival. Whether it's due to the return of romance that has come with trending blouses or the summer months evoking even the purest minimalists to play with print, polka dots are already big news for summer 2025.
As such a timeless pattern, high street and high-end designers have swiftly incorporated bold spots into all clothing categories from skirts to tops and even accessories. For me, it's polka dot dresses that are holding my attention the most. Actually, it's one dress—the Nobody's Child Polka Dot Bandeau Felicity Midi dress—which has already sold out once, and is finally back in stock.
Nobody's Child has made a name for itself as the first port of call when searching for excellent dresses at affordable price points. As soon as this polka dot dress launched, it quickly sold out thanks to its classic yet playful print, considered design details and serious wearability. The felicity dress is an iconic style to the brand, featuring a ruched fitted bodice that flows into a full skirt. What's more, the dress is designed to be worn strapless or with the removable spaghetti straps, for added versatility. The midi dress silhouette adds to the classic appeal of this dress, which is one that will still feel current in a years time.
Already, I've conjured up ideas of exactly how I'll be wearing it this spring. For a daytime stroll that's a little more put-together, I'd add in a pair of barely-there sandals and a light cardigan for those cooler moments. If a garden party is on the cards, consider layering in an elevated mule and clutch bag, whilst a more playful take can include bold platform heels and a colourful bag to stand out against the black and white backdrop.
Whilst the original white with black spot colourway is the one that first drew my attention, the style also comes in a black base and white spots, as well as the new brown version that I know will move fast. There's also a bold red and sweet checked option if you aren't sold on spots but are sold on the refined silhouette.
If you've also been waiting for the return of the polka-dot Felicity dress, keep scrolling, and you'll also find more colourway options below.
