Gingham is a lightweight, woven cotton or cotton-blend fabric featuring a distinctive checkered pattern. The checks are created by alternating colored and white yarns in both the warp and weft directions. Typically made in simple two-tone colors, such as red-and-white or blue-and-white, gingham is known for its durability, breathability, and versatility. It is commonly used in shirts, dresses, tablecloths, and home decor. Gingham’s timeless appeal and practical qualities make it a staple in both casual and classic fashion styles.
