Despite being a lifelong fan, in my own way, even I am a little bit over polka dots as we have all been somewhat over-exposed during the past few years (the caveat is that I am actually wearing them today – a seven-year-old Warehouse wrap dress that I hope and pray will never die!).

Anyway, despite the ubiquity of the spotty dress these days, I do still like this one a lot. Oasis was for a time a shop I never bothered with as I found its wares a little dull but it has really improved recently in my opinion and has some good-quality vintage-style pieces.

I love the old-school glamour of this dress and I think it would be very flattering and easy to wear with red lipstick and seamed fishnets.

Oasis belted spot dress: £65.00

*Edit: I have now tried this dress on and it is a dream! Fitted without making me look lumpen – in fact it gives a great hourglass shape. Someone on the Oasis site said it was too short to look vintage-style but on me at 5 foot 3 it is a brilliant length – just below the knee and looks very classy (I think!)
