Polka dot homecoming dresses in black, white, blue and red

Summer dresses at a fall dance

What does that mean for you? Two things. These dresses are made for warm weather, so they suit a homecoming held early in the season or somewhere that stays mild. And they come back to our catalog with the warm months, which makes this a page for planning ahead and not for last-minute shopping.

If your evening might turn cool, bring a layer. A cropped denim jacket, a short black blazer or a white cardigan all work over dots without fighting the print.

Short with long sleeves, three ways

Our minis all have sleeves to the wrist, and that’s handy at a dance. The black one leaves the shoulders bare and finishes in a ruffled hem. Because the neckline is open, choose the size by your bust. No necklace needed.

The white mini with black dots has full, dramatic sleeves and a plain round neck. Those sleeves are the decoration. With white sandals it looks light, and with black pumps it goes retro in a second.

Then there’s the black mini with a boat neck and slits down the sleeves. The slits move when you do. It’s the most covered of the three up top, and a pair of heels and a small clutch finish it.

Wraps, a bow and a keyhole below the knee line

Prefer more length? We make wrap styles in white with black dots and black with white dots, both midi with short sleeves. You tighten or loosen the wrap yourself, so the waist fits the way you like. The blue one is a knee-length wrap with ruffles, sewn in a satin blend of polyester (98 %) with elastane (2 %).

Sweetest of all is the one with a bow. It’s a white midi with black dots, a keyhole neckline and a relaxed shape you can move in all night. And there’s a red knee-length dress with a keyhole too. We cut every polka dot homecoming dress in XS to XL.

Frequently asked questions

Aren’t polka dots too old-fashioned for homecoming?

They’re a classic, and that’s the charm. On a mini with bare shoulders they look anything but dated.

What accessories go with a dotted dress?

Plain ones. A black bag picks up black dots, and jewelry should be small and one color.

Which dot color is the dressiest?

Black with white dots. See more of it on the black polka dot page.

Where do I find other prints and lengths?

All our dots are on the polka dot dresses page, with dotted minis grouped apart. For every style for the dance, go to the homecoming hub.
