neutral  Krisztina Lelik: "polka dot" it is a pattern of dots of uniform size & arrangement. otherwise simply "dotted" or "spotty". 725 hits on google to "spotty blouse"

  -> would you ever call a blouse "spotty"? In fashion, textiles etc we always talk about polka dots :) / And 1.4 million with my term ... what's your point?

spotted is a more general term, and personally I use this term nearly always (not usually polka dot, even if they are of equal size and spacing)
