The latest style to get a polka dot makeover is the 'Tasmin' dress.

You know when a brand actually admits it's struggling to keep a product in stock, that means two things. One, the dress is absolutely sensational, and two, its bound to sell out again - and fast. The Nobody's Child Felicity Dress was the polka-dot wonder that dominated your Instagram feed last year in its chic brown iteration. Dubbed 'the dress we can't keep in' by the brand itself, now, the brand has now released a mini iteration of the famous dress. And, consider this your warning: hesitation is not advised.

If you haven't heard, London-based brand Nobody's Child is having a moment right now, with fans like Sienna Miller (who wore its floral Alexa midi dress that's now out of stock), and Louise Thompson, who was spotted wearing the sell-out monochrome polka dot dress in her kitchen. The newest addition to Felicity dress clan features a similar ruched bandeau bodice with a playful bubble hem in a brown and cream polka dot design.

Previous to that, the white version of the sell-out dress threw the internet into a frenzy, and I (luckily) managed to get my hands on the viral style. My thoughts you ask? It's every bit as charming as expected. The bandeau neckline sits securely (it has a layer of grippy silicone inside to make sure it doesn't go anywhere), and definitely doesn't feel restrictive. The fabric is light and airy, I can imagine this will be a dream to wear on those warm spring days, plus, the dress can transition seamlessly into evening plans with a quick shoe swap. Sizing wise, take your usual size (rather than sizing up for extra room around the chest) as I found it did come up slightly on the larger side.

Nobody's Child has also expanded its offering of polka dot dresses by releasing a new iteration of its classic Tasmin style, with the addition of – you guessed it – brown polka dots. The summer-ready midi features a flattering square neck, short sleeves and a waist-defining fitted bodice.

When it comes to styling the polka dot numbers, our favourite influencers have opted to let the dress take centre stage, pairing it with simple black flip flops and a minimal raffia bag. For the evening, swap out for a micro handbag and chic gold jewellery, and some barely-there heels.
