I read in the weekend papers that gingham, flowers, stripes , uneven hems and the colour pink are the trends we should look out for this summer or SS17 as they call it. Anyone taking up any of these? Definitely not gingham for me my Pollyanna days are long gone.

Sure, you can have black & white gingham, Hope.

I am sure gingham wellies would be gorgeous

On of today's papers had a feature on gingham. There was at least one garment featured that I would have worn and several others I thought about.

Gingham reminds me of the summer dress I wore in my first year of Grammar School. The first photo on here gives you an idea: www.1900s.org.uk/1930s-40s-copthall.htm
Mine was made of a heavyweight blue and white check gingham. I think it had previously been a mattress cover.
