What is it with me and polka-dots lately?  This dress in Mallinson's Miami rayon fabric was made from Simplicity pattern 4536, Spring 1943 .  The big white buttons mimic the polka-dot print on a beautiful shade of green that is perfect for spring and summer.  I like the use of black gloves here.  They balance the black hat.  White gloves would have been too prissy, don't you think?  The photo was taken by George Hoyningen-Huene in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.
