Nobody’s Child Has Released Another Polka Dot Dress, And Yes, It’s Just As Good As The Sell-Out Felicity Maxi 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 is the polka-dot wonder that's probably (or, most definitely) dominated your Instagram feed this year in its chic white and black iteration. Dubbed 'the dress we can't keep in' by the brand itself, now, the brand has now released a style that I think, rivals the Felicity. It's the White Polka Dot Kyla Midi Dress, and, consider this your warning: hesitation is not advised - especially as Nobody's Child currently has a sale on, with massive savings on its polka dot dresses.

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. Now, the brand has introduced a new addition to its polka dot roster, which features an on-trend drop waist, boat neck and, of course, a black and white polka dot design.

Before that, the white and black polka dot midi threw the internet into a frenzy and sold out almost instantly. Now, the dress is finally back in stock, and as expected, flying off the shelves. My thoughts, you ask? Well, 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, so I know this will be a dream to wear on those warm summer 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.

If the bandeau neckline isn't your thing, Nobody's Child has expanded its offering of polka dot dresses by releasing a long sleeve iteration, complete with asymmetric hem and large and small polka dots. Its Alaia Midi Dress is a garden-party and summer-ready midi that features a flattering round neck and long sleeves. It also happens to be a design that's already sold out once, but the brand has since bought it back (and in the sale), all thanks to a flurry of Instagram comments asking when the Alaia Dress would be restocked.

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.
