Polka dots have long formed part of Dolce & Gabbana’s visual language, appearing throughout numerous collections inspired by vintage Italian cinema, 1950s femininity and Mediterranean elegance. There is a separate black silk lace trimmed slip. The combination of delicate lace, silk chiffon, dramatic bow neckline and flowing silhouette creates a sophisticated day-to-evening piece that remains instantly recognisable as Dolce & Gabbana.
