Alison Hammond made headlines for her joyful meeting with Prince Harry, and her £55 polka dot midi dress is the perfect pick for special occasions during the summer heatwave
During his latest visit to the UK, Prince Harry had a headline-making interaction with Alison Hammond during an event to mark the Invictus Games. Alison was photographed greeting Harry with an enthusiastic hug whilst hosting a segment on This Morning, and she managed to find the perfect outfit for the occasion.
Alison proved that you can look professional and put together whilst still being comfortable during the heatwave, wearing her chocolate brown polka dot midi dress and a pair of Adidas Mary Jane pumps . Her dress proves that you don’t need to choose between being comfortable looking stylish in soaring temperatures, with her Curve Chocolate Brown Polka Dot Knot Dress just right for the occasion.

The dress has a midi length which makes sure it stays professional and modest, and although it has long sleeves, they’re made from a sheer mesh which is breathable and keeps you cool in the heat. The Polka Dot Knot Dress also features a flattering knot detail at the waist, which accentuates curves without feeling too rigid or structured.
It also features a mesh overlay, with a fully-lined sleeveless stretchy jersey dress underneath, keeping it playful whilst still being fully covered. Although Alison proved you can dress it down with her Adidas ballet pump trainers, you could just as easily glam the Polka Dot Knot Dress up with a pair of heels and a clutch bag for your next wedding or day at the races.
As well as her super on-trend brown polka dot print, the dress is also available in plenty of different colours and patterns including green zebra print and several bold floral patterns. Hailing from Yours Clothing, the dress is available in sizes 10 up to 30-32, with both petite and regular length options available.
Although Alison’s dress has a more form-fitting, bodycon style, if you want something a little breezier and more comfortable for the heat, this Curve Ruched Front Midi Tea Dress In Chocolate Polka Dot is £30 and is made from 93% cotton with a comfortable, relaxed fit. You can also pick up a similar style for £55 from Finery London, where the Addison Brown Polka Dot Cotton Button-Through Smock Midi Dress has a fitted silhouette around the waist, with a loose, flowing skirt and puff sleeves.
However the Polka Dot Knot Dress that Alison wore has gotten great reviews from shoppers who’ve bought it. One said: “Great dress and fits lovely” whilst another wrote: “The dress is beautiful. It looks stunning.”
A couple of shoppers found the sizing a little trickier, with one person writing: “Too small for a size 18 more like 14” whilst another said: “Too tight and unflattering.”
However others loved the dress, adding: “Dress is perfect, sizing is accurate, good material. 10/10.”
And: “So happy with the dress. Fits perfectly and is so elegant and comfortable.”
