G-string - 1878, gee-string, "loincloth worn by American Indian," originally the string that holds it up, etymology unknown. The spelling with G (1891) is perhaps from influence of violin string tuned to a G. First used of women's attire 1936, with reference to stripteasers."

Die "Polka-Punkte" kamen in den USA Mitte des 19. Jh. auf und standen sicherlich in Zusammenhang mit dem Aufkommen des "Polka-Tanzes" im Jahr 1835 in den USA. Zur Blütezeit des Polkas von 1840 bis 1890 versuchten einige Marketingleute die Polka-Welle auszunutzen und versahen beliebige Produkte mit dem Attribut "Polka" (tschechisch für wörtlich "Polin") auch wenn das Produkt nichts mit Tanzen zu tun hatte. Und so kamen auch "polka-gepunktete Stoffe" ("polka-dotted fabrics") auf. Und so kann man heute noch Krawatten mit "Polka-Punkten" finden.

NOUN:

Das 1938 aufkommende engl. "itsy-bitsy" = dt. "niedlich" hat einen ersten Bezug in "itty", das man in einem Brief der englischen Romanschriftstellerin Jane Austen aus dem Jahr 1798 finden kann und in der Babysprache die Bedeutung "klein" hat.

Im englischen gibt es noch zwei weitere Begriffe, die sowohl einen Tanz als auch ein Design bezeichnen:

The term "polka dot" was first spotted in American magazines around the late 1800s, dubbed for the polka, the Eastern European dance that was popular at the time. The flirty filled-in circles immediately sparked a pop culture revolution. Over the next century, polka dots would pop up on everything from Minnie Mouse's skirt to Frank Sinatra's 1940 jazz standard "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" to women's dresses in the 1950s. And Brian Hyland's 1960 number-one hit "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" was one of the most popular tunes of the decade.

I am reminded of a quote attributed to Voltaire: Etymology is a study in which consonants count for very little, and vowels for nothing at all.

The conventional story has it that "polka dots" were named after the polka (the dance). Apparently the polka became popular ca. 1845 (and apparently the etymology of the dance's name is somewhat uncertain itself). The earliest instances of "polka dots" which I find at a glance are from 1881. The "polka" fishing lure cited from 1883 used spotted guinea-fowl feathers and I would guess it was named after the polka dot.

Why the pattern would be named after the dance is not clear to me. FWIW, the "polka" in "polka dot" is (nowadays) usually not pronounced the same as the "polka" applied to the dance. I find multiple examples on the Web of "poker dot" and "poke a dot" in the sense of "polka dot" - just misspellings?

The term polka dot first appears in the magazine Godey’s Lady’s Book of May 1857:
Scarf of muslin, for light summer wear...surrounded by a scalloped edge, embroidered in rows of round polka dots.

Fashions come and fashions go, and many repeat themselves many years later. So it is that in the 20th and 21st centuries the "crop top" was very popular with English girls, unaware that the same garment was also worn by their female ancestors over 2000 years earlier in Britain. Similarly, platform shoes which were all the rage of the "glam rock" era of the 1970's were not the invention of the likes of Gary Glitter. Rather, they were popular among the women of Elizabethan Europe some 400 years earlier, then called the "chopine". Indeed the Elizabethan platform shoes were so outrageous, some with soles 45 cm high, that legislation was introduced to reduce the number of accidents from people falling off them! In this section you will find information about costume, clothing, fashion and body decoration, including hair styles, beards and moustaches through the ages.
