Plenty of dress brands have already come out with their version of the very popular Stella McCartney polka dot mesh panel dress. In fact, Stella McCartney herself came out with many different variations of it for her Fall 2011 collection.
The revealing and figure-contouring dresses are such a hit that even though they’re “so last season”, many celebrities like Kate Winslet continue to wear it well into this spring/summer:

Sure, this dress is a mini and it’s partly mesh, but you know what makes it look less like a fall style and really a dress for summer? If the neckline was lowered and it was made sleeveless like this ‘Party Spot’ dress we found at NastyGal:
‘Party Spot’ Dress, $48.00
You just gotta love this summery take on the Stella McCartney dress. Because it’s sleeveless, it’s easy to style as a day dress, probably with a cute jacket and a pair of suede booties like what the model is wearing. And because it’s black, sleek and oh-so-sexy, it’s also real easy to work as a nighttime dress.
