Its no secret that polka dots are a big trend this Autumn, they were seen all over the A/W 11 catwalks of top designers including Marc Jacobs, David Koma and Diane Von Furstenberg. My favourite polka dot designs of the season are these gorgeous dresses by Stella McCartney.

McCartney's polka dot panelled dresses have already been a hit with her A-list friends including Liv Tyler and Kate Winslet. These black dresses with sexy sheer polka dot panels have been cut in a way that creates an illusion of a slimmer waist, creating a slim-line silhouette. The high neckline and knee length skirts keep a demure element to these styles, which are by far the most grown up polka dots around this season.

With price tags starting from over £1,000 these dresses are massively out of my price range so I hunted down some 'look-a-likes' that are slightly more affordable. The
One Sleeve Spot Mesh Dress from Asos and the
Spot Mesh Dress from Diamond by Julien Macdonald at Debenhams are perfect for recreating a McCartney look and at bargain prices of £40 & £50 they're far more affordable that the designer options! Accessorise with simple black heels for sophisticated polka dot style.
