When is polka dot day

The name for the dot comes from the dance, although there doesn't seem to be any real connection between the two. The popularity of polka dots increased in the s and '30s. Miss America wore a polka dot swimsuit in and Minnie appeared with polka dots in Polka dot dresses were common during the s.

In the s, Yayoi Kusama began using polka dots in her paintings. Today, polka dots are often worn nostalgically and have gained in popularity with the revival of vintage wear from the s and '60s. Because Minnie Mouse is often seen wearing polka dots, the day has been closely tied to her.

Although she appeared with Mickey in Plane Crazy on May 15, , this did not have a wide release, and it is Steamboat Willie , which was released on November 18, , which is widely known as Minnie Mouse's debut. Independent, feminine, and cheerful, she is known for bringing happiness to others and helping them with troubles they may be having.

A post shared by Liz DeSilva lizdesilvadesigns. Here is a great way to add polka dots to your outfit… without having to buy any polka dot clothing! I love how creative mamalorian3 got with her Rock The Dots look. It looks like she really wanted to be covered in polka dots from head-to-toe.

The hat, the belt, and of course the button down were a perfect combo to create a fabulous look. A post shared by Ally M.
