Key facts

• The fabric: silk crêpe de chine, printed, made in Italy. The dots are small and the ground colour dominates, so a black-and-ivory dot reads as a black dress.
• The colourways this season: black with white dots, black with ivory, cream with bordeaux, bordeaux with white, light blue with blue. The navy with white is the royal original.
• The details: a lace-trimmed contrast collar, a defined waist, a bow, a peplum, a pleated skirt, jewelled buttons. Midi is the classic length; there are minis and a maxi.
• Prices: $1,575 to $3,560 across the polka-dot pieces; the dresses sit between $2,100 to $3,560.
• Worn by: the Princess of Wales on at least seven public occasions since 2018, Abigail Spencer at the Sussex wedding, Sarah Jessica Parker in 2018.

Why this print

Rich has been direct about where the dot comes from. Asked about her muses in 2019 she named Princess Diana: “She wore polka dots so well and I know all of her looks by heart.” The house describes its own aesthetic as playful innocence set against subversion, and the dot is that sentence in a print. On a silk crêpe de chine midi with a white collar it is demure; on a draped mini with a split it is not. The Princess of Wales has worn the demure version for a royal portrait, a D-Day commemoration, a Jubilee lunch, Wimbledon, Garter Day and a VE Day service, and each appearance sends the same dress back into search.

The black and white dots

The most versatile colourway and the one Luxury Handbags sells most. The Polka Dot Dress With Collar at $2,882 is the house classic with a contrast collar; the Polka Dot Dress With Split adds a split and the Polka Dot Dress With Lace a lace insert. For a mini, the Silk Polka Dot Mini Dress at $2,750 and the Silk Polka Dot Mini Dress with Ruffles. All take a black pointed slingback and one pair of earrings.

The cream and bordeaux dots

The warmer colourway of the current season: a cream ground with small bordeaux dots, a lace collar, a defined waist. The Silk Polka Dot Midi Dress with Collar at $3,040 is the midi; the season also carries a mini with a scooped neckline and a dress with a double collar in the same print. Wear it with an ivory mule rather than a black shoe, and with the house’s bordeaux merino cardigan for day.

The blue dots

Light blue with blue dots is the colourway closest to the azure dress the Princess of Wales wore for the Platinum Jubilee in 2022. The Polka Dot High Neck Dress at $2,961 covers the arms and neck; the Polka Dot Dress With Pleated Skirt and the Polka Dot Dress With Volant are the daytime options; the Polka Dot Draped Mini Dress is the evening one. A navy suede pump is the shoe.

The dots you can wear every day

The Polka Dot Blouse at $1,694 sits under a trouser suit; the Polka Dot Pleated Skirt at $1,826 takes a plain knit; the Polka Dot Skirt With Bow at $1,575 is the pencil version. These are the pieces to buy if the dress feels like too much print for a working week.

Sizing the dot

The dresses are cut in Italian sizes from IT 36 to IT 46 and listed at Luxury Handbags on the UK ladder: IT 38 is a UK 6, IT 40 a UK 8, IT 42 a UK 10, IT 44 a UK 12. The house publishes no fit note and the model on its site is 175 cm in an IT 38, so order your usual Italian size. The waist is defined and the collar sits high; if you are between sizes on a fitted midi, the larger size is the safer one. The full size guide has the house’s body chart.
