Description
Polka dot is a pattern consisting of an array of large filled circles of the same size. Polka dots are commonly seen on children’s clothing, toys, furniture, ceramics, and Central European folk art but they appear in a wide array of contexts and fabrics.
The term “polka dot” derives loosely from the Bohemian folk dance of the same name (“Polka”, in the Czech language, means “Polish woman” or “little woman” — tradition has it the dance was named when some Bohemian travelers came upon a young Polish girl performing the dance).
In the mid-1800s, Eastern European immigrants to the United States embraced the polka craze, even forming polka clubs with identifying uniforms for the dancers. Some historians believe these uniforms, often featuring fitted jackets with a dotted pattern, may have inspired the term. However, the Oxford English Dictionary notes that the dance’s popularity caused the name to be affixed to all sorts of products, such as — polka-gauze, polka-hat, polka-dot, even polka ham! Nevertheless, only the dance and the fabric pattern have retained the name.
