Polka dots have a whimsical past; they first gained popularity in the mid-19th century in Europe and later becoming a fashion staple in the 1950s.
In Bollywood, they were popular by the name 'Bobby prints' after Dimple Kapadia's memorable look in the 1973 film, Bobby.
Now, they are making a bold comeback on runways and the internet alike as designers blend retro charm with modern silhouettes.
