GINGHAM DRESS

You have certainly seen it- in tablecloths, children’s aprons, uniform, shirts...It is simple yet eyecatching and definitely a wardrobe essential for spring, summer or active clothing. From the beginning it has made numerous successful and adorable appearances, from picnic blankets  and kitchen curtains to the runway and couture shoes.... Here it is- the legendary GINGHAM CLASSIC!

So I had this family gathering last Friday and as always I hadn’t decided what to wear yet. I was scrolling down my Instagram and Pinterest looking for some cute yet elegant outfit inspiration, then I came across this outfit.

After I saw this, it immediately reminded me of my apron that we had to wear during our lunch time when i was in grade 1 in Shuvatara. Lol. But I really found it so adorable. Then i saw the back side of this dress which had these cuts:

Then I knew, this is the one I am gonna wear!

I came to know that this print is called GINGHAM. It is pronounced as "ging-uhm". It basically comes from a Malayan word genggang or “striped”. Enough of the word knowledge.

Dress like this is a very staple piece for spring and summer because it is light, flirty and very comfortable to wear (because it is flowy). The puff on the sleeves makes it look even more prettier. One can actually rock a gingham without looking like you wrapped a table cloth if u find the correct fit that complements your style....all you need to do is EXPERIMENT.



I bought this dress from T'sArmoire. And I paired it with gladiator heels which is from Sphinx. To finish the look I carried a purse which I stole from my mamu.

Dress: T'sArmoire

Bag: My Foot(Kumaripati)
PS: they have an amazing collection.

Shoes: Sphinx(Labim Mall)

I accessorized the look with a pearl ear top and customized gold chain with my name on it. I just did my brows and lined my eyes because if I had base makeup it would probably have melt down and I hate powdering my face.

After all it was an incredible evening with my family and I was totally feeling this look so I was busy clicking pics the entire time. Thanks to my sisters for being very patient with me and clicking the pics. Love y'all.

So, don't be scared to try out gingham prints this summer because I am sure that everyone can carry it. I don't know when will I post again but till then feel the joy of dressing!🌷
