What is ginham print?

Gingham print is a type of fabric print that features a checkered pattern made up of evenly sized and spaced squares. The squares can be any color, but the most common are blue, red, green, or black on a white background. Gingham is commonly used in clothing, such as summer dresses, shirts, and children's clothing. The print originated in Southeast Asia and was brought to Europe in the 17th century. Gingham print gained popularity in the United States in the 1950s and has continued to be a popular fabric choice for fashion and home décor. The term gingham also refers to the actual fabric, which is typically a lightweight, plain-woven cotton.
