The History of Polka Dots

Polka dots are believed to have originated in the late 1830s in Europe. The first instance of polka dots being used as a pattern on fabric was in 1858 in England. Polka dots became increasingly popular in the late 19th century and early 20th century. They were often seen on children’s clothing, women’s dresses, and men’s shirts. In the 1920s, Coco Chanel began incorporating polka dots into her designs, which helped to solidify their status as a fashion trend.

During the Great Depression, polka dot fabric became less expensive and more widely available, which made them even more popular. By the 1940s, polka dots were seen on all sorts of garments, including swimsuits, raincoats, and even umbrellas.
