New Circus: Gorgeous Gingham!

Summer is  back and we have the perfect print! Gingham! It’s been around for a while, but the print is having a revival this season. Taylor Swift has been spotted in a check dress and Kerry Washington made headlines by taking to the red carpet in a blue gingham number. We have designed two garments from Circus with a nod to the trend. Our ever-popular Anna blouse is perfection in blue. The bow tie makes the blouse both feminine and chic. Definitely reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly! We have also made our classic Ava dress in a bold red check. It looks great when paired with tan accessories for the perfect Summer outfit. What do you think of our new gingham items?

Gingham is Great! Get Inspired With One Of Our Favorite Patterns.

We’re taking a look at and getting inspired by one of our favorite patterns today – gingham!

With a history stretching back as far as the 1600’s, when it was first imported to Europe, gingham has always been a fashion staple. Fresh, fun, and easy to wear, it’s the perfect pattern to welcome spring into your wardrobe.

Gingham gained a new found popularity with style leaders during the 1940’s and 50’s. Featured in many movie wardrobes, such as on Katharine Hepburn in “The Philadelphia Song” (1940), and seen on many glamorous stars of old Hollywood, this checkered classic was having a stylish revival. Brigitte Bardot even got married in a gingham wedding dress, causing a shortage of the fabric in France! We’ve gathered together some of our favorite vintage gingham looks below, and we’ll show you how to get the look from Carousel!
