Is this the new Zara polka dot dress?
I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I think I've found the new Zara polka dot dress. It doesn't have its own Instagram account (yet), but two colleagues have it already, and I've spotted it on social too.
It all started a week ago when beauty PR Bianca popped into Zara, and found this perfect white summer dress. She shared it on her Instagram stories and immediately got dozens of replies.
One of them was from influencer Alexis Foreman, who went on to buy it too, and her picture got over 3k likes and 144 comments, all of them positive. Which sadly meant that it sold out online, judging by the following comment, 'They had all sizes in this dress yesterday and I didn’t have time to order it, went to order it this morning and they are all gone SO there are a few in Cambridge so I’m off on a road trip on Friday to try and get it. Pray for me.'
It is sadly sold out in practically all sizes online, however I recommend you use the store checker tool as you might have more luck in store.

Wear it a la Alexis with neon mules, or a la Bianca with ugly sandals for an uber chic laid back look.

She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
