Polka Dot
Polka Dot is a pattern consisting of a series of circles, typically of the same size and evenly spaced from one another. The circles can be of any color, but the most common color combinations are black and white, white and red, and white and navy blue. The term polka is derived from the Polish word pulka, meaning half-step, and refers to the dance that was popular in the mid-19th century. The pattern was named after the dance because of its lively and playful appearance. Polka Dot has been used in fashion for over a century, and it has been a popular print for dresses, blouses, and skirts. It has also been used in home decor, such as curtains, bedspreads, and tablecloths.
