Forget florals. The print we should all be wearing this summer is gingham. Yes, that old thing. In western clothing, its introduction dates back to the 17th century. Prior to this it was a staple part of eastern culture, notable Japan, Indonesia and India. Fast forward to modern times and it’s now more associated with school uniform fabric. Until now that is. Gingham is the new must-have print and today this week we’re focusing on the gingham dress. Use our guide below to help you pick the right style for your body shape.

The piping which highlights the bust and waist of this fitted dress is perfect for adding the illusion of curves. The frill detail at the hem is an added bonus!
