The checkered pattern is one of the most ancient patterns on fabric. This pattern is almost universal; it can look strict or daring, respectable or reckless. In a word, the cage is a pattern that will never go out of fashion. This means that a checkered dress will always be relevant.

Many believe that Scottish men were the first to wear tartan clothes. However, tartan fabrics began to be produced much earlier. Clothes with this characteristic pattern were found in the Ancient Egyptian pyramids; it is also a proven fact that patricians who lived during the Roman Empire wore checkered togas.

But in medieval Europe, the cage was not in honor; such fabric was used in the clothing of commoners. Interest in this pattern appeared only in the twentieth century, but once on the fashion catwalk, dresses made of checkered fabric never left it.

Types of cells

A cage is a pattern that can look completely different. The fabric can be two- or multi-color, and the size of the cell varies widely. It is customary to distinguish several types of drawings.

Tartan

This word is known to few; most people usually call this type of fabric “tartan”. This is a colored fabric with a fairly large cell and perfect symmetry.

In ancient times, each Scottish clan had the right to wear tartan fabrics in strictly defined colors. Moreover, the more colors in the design, the more noble the owner of the clothes was. Thus, up to seven different shades could be used in the king’s clothes.

Nowadays, of course, no one adheres to any restrictions. But the most popular are two types of patterns - two-color black-red and red-green checkered.

Glencheck

This type of fabric in which the pattern is formed by a special interweaving of threads. This drawing is exclusively two-color, black and white, the cell size is minimal. This fabric also comes from Scotland.

One type of Glencheck is the Windsor check; this pattern is used mainly for sewing men's suits.

Vichy

This type of fabric was named after the French city where the production of small-check fabric was first established. The pattern is two-color, symmetrical. The most common colors are blue and red combined with white.

Pepita

Another type of fabric with small checkered patterns, the size of the element does not exceed one centimeter. Fabric of twill or plain weave, two-color, most often black and white.

Chicken foot

The small black and white diamond pattern became extremely popular thanks to Coco Chanel. The famous mademoiselle considered this fabric a symbol of elegance and sophistication, so she often used it in her outfits.

Ginem

Cotton fabric with small two-color checks. The constant color is white, the second color can be any, but, as a rule, bright.

Argyll

An original black and white pattern, created like a chess cage, but with elements in the form of elongated rhombuses. This pattern is often used to create knitted fabrics.

Nova

This type of cell is relatively young, it appeared a little less than a hundred years ago. This is a multi-color pattern, originally created for lining fabrics, but over time it was also used for making accessories and clothing.

Madras

This is a fabric based on cotton threads. A pattern in the form of a large multi-colored cell is applied to the base using printing.

Checked dress styles

Photos of dresses made from checkered fabrics are unlikely to leave any fashionista indifferent. This pattern is widely used when sewing business-style clothes, as well as dresses for free time and leisure. There are also evening models of checkered dresses.

Business style

The cage fits perfectly into a business style. Of course, an office dress should not be made from bright tartan, since this fabric is mainly used for sewing school uniforms. But a black and white checkered dress would be quite appropriate. Patterns like “chicken foot”, glossy or other types of small checks look strict and elegant. Large checkered patterns are used less frequently in office fashion.

The classic solution is a checkered sheath dress. This outfit is perfect for women with any body type. Combine the dress with a jacket made of plain fabric.

A straight checkered dress would be an excellent solution for the office. This outfit can be made with long sleeves and complemented with a belt at the waist. Checkered business dresses with a white collar look charming.

Office dresses with a semi-fitted silhouette and peplum look original and unusual. Moreover, the peplum can be tailored so that the cage on this part is located diagonally.

A classic of office fashion is a checkered sundress, worn with a turtleneck or blouse. The model can have a semi-fitting or straight silhouette; plump girls can choose a trapezoid-shaped sundress.

For free time

Casual checkered dresses can be very diverse. It could be a short checkered dress, a midi-length model, or even a floor-length skirt. The most relevant are the following styles:

• Fitted A-line dresses. This style is ideal for girls with a thin waist. If the silhouette of your figure resembles an hourglass, then you can choose a dress with a small check. If the figure is not entirely proportional, then it is worth using a fabric pattern to correct the figure. So, if the hips are much wider than the shoulders, then you can sew a bodice from a large checkered fabric, and a skirt from a dark plain material. This technique will balance the figure and make it more proportional.

• Dress shirt. This outfit is cut like a men's shirt, it has a through fastener, the shirt collar is most often sewn with sleeves. This large check dress made from tartan fabric will look very cute. The model is worn with a belt. Short shirt dresses can be worn with shorts or skinny jeans.

• Dress with an offset waistline. Moreover, it can be both overestimated and underestimated. A high waistline and a full skirt are the main features of a baby dollar style outfit. If you sew a dress with a rectangular silhouette with a low waistline and a straight skirt, you will get a jazz style outfit, very popular in the 20-30s of the last century. When sewing such models, combinations of fabrics are often used. For example, a bodice can be sewn from large-checkered fabric, while they can be made from a plain material or small-checkered fabric. Another combination option is to cut the top of the dress in a straight line, and the skirt - diagonally. When using checkered fabric, this technique allows you to achieve an interesting visual effect.

• Full skirt dresses. Outfits with full skirts look very feminine. You can sew a Tatyanka style outfit from checkered fabric. This is a fairly simple style, it has a tight-fitting bodice and a “tube”-shaped skirt that is tightly gathered at the waist. The second option for a checkered outfit with a full skirt is a dress in the “new look” style. For these models, a circle skirt is cut out, and a multi-layered petticoat is worn under it to give the necessary fullness. Based on this dress, you can create a romantic look in retro style by complementing the outfit with short openwork gloves, classic pumps and a small handbag.

Casual dresses made of plaid fabric are all-season models. As a rule, checkered summer dresses are made from cotton, linen or mixed fabrics. A checkered knitted dress is comfortable to wear and attractive in appearance, especially if you choose a wrap model.

For the cold season, it is worth sewing a woolen dress with sleeves and a white collar. A red checkered dress looks especially attractive, since in winter there is a lack of bright colors. But, of course, you can choose another color option.

For an evening out

To sew evening dresses, plain fabrics are most often used, so an original long dress in a checkered pattern will not go unnoticed. Thanks to the checkered pattern, you can advantageously emphasize the advantages of your figure.

Checkered fabrics can be combined with other materials. Romantic dresses are often decorated with lace, and outrageous rock-style outfits are made with leather inserts.

What to wear with a checkered dress

A checkered dress is a self-sufficient thing, so it requires few accessories. Let's figure out what to wear with this outfit to make the look stylish.

Shoes

You need to select shoes to match your dress taking into account the season and the purpose of the outfit. For checkered dresses, you can wear ballet flats and high-heeled shoes, ankle boots or classic boots. The main recommendation of stylists is that the shoes should be plain and not have flashy decor, so as not to “draw attention” to themselves.

However, there are no rules without exceptions. For example, when creating a country style look, you can wear a plaid shirtdress combined with cowboy boots decorated with fringe.

Decorations

When choosing jewelry, you need to adhere to the principle of moderation, since the check print is quite complex. It is better not to wear jewelry around the neck with a checkered dress; a plain collar or scarf tied around the neck will look much better. The color of these parts must match one of the tones of the cell.

For jewelry, you can wear earrings and something on your hand - a bracelet (if the dress does not have long sleeves) or a ring. Please note that the larger the cage, the more elegant the jewelry should be. You can wear massive jewelry with small checkered outfits.

Accessories

Additional accessories for the outfit are selected, not forgetting the principle of moderation. You can emphasize your waist with a belt; it can be narrow or quite wide. The color should be neutral - black or white, you can choose a shade that is present in the color of the dress.

Outerwear worn over a checkered dress (jacket, cardigan, coat) must be plain. Under no circumstances should you wear outerwear with a checkered print, otherwise the abundance of checkered patterns will simply dazzle the eyes of those around you.

You should also take a bag that is plain and without excessive decoration. Otherwise, it's easy to overload the image. You should choose bright accessories for black and white outfits, but complements in neutral shades are better suited for a colored checkered pattern.

Examples of fashionable images

Based on checkered dresses, you can create a variety of fashionable looks. When choosing outfits, keep in mind that large checks make you look fat. Therefore, if you need to visually correct a full figure, you should choose fabrics with a small checkered pattern, or cut out details diagonally.

Business image

A business dress doesn't have to be black and white. A great option for the office would be a straight dress made of fabric with a checkered print, which uses dark and light shades of brown and cream. This dress can be decorated with a brown strap. To complete the look, complement the look with black dress shoes, a dark beige fitted jacket and a dark chocolate satchel.

Bright outfit for every day

The red and black tartan dress has a slightly low waistline and a pleated skirt. Let's pair the dress with summer boots with openwork sand-colored tops on a small glass heel. Let's complement the outfit with a brown semicircular bag with a long shoulder strap and a wide black and white bracelet.

Black and white checkered dress

A shirt dress with high semicircular cutouts on the sides, made of black and white checkered fabric, decorated with a thin belt made of braided cord. We'll pair the dress with black leggings and brown suede ankle boots with square heels and high laces. A gray-beige hat in a men's style will complement the ensemble.

Summer look

A light sundress with thin straps made of red and white checkered fabric is decorated with lace braid along the hem and neckline, as well as a satin ribbon belt tied at the waist with a bow. We will wear fuchsia sandals with the dress. Complete the ensemble with a wide-brimmed straw hat and a beach-style bag.

Sometimes it seems that it is impossible to oust plaid from fashion catwalks, even if all designers set such a goal for themselves at once. This is an incredibly versatile ornament that is both formal and elegant. Perhaps it’s all about the variations of this pattern, but, most likely, it’s about the unique styles and bold combinations that are invented not only by fashion designers, but also by fashionistas themselves.

Fashionable checkered dresses for 2019 are very diverse, so among them there is a suitable product for beauties of any build and color type of appearance. We choose the perfect dress and learn to combine it with other clothes and accessories. Look at the photos of new styles of fashionable checkered dresses with a varied combination of colors and shades:

Checkered dresses 2019 - photos of new long and short models

As you know, the new is the half-forgotten old, and why invent it if there are already classic variants of the cage. If you look at the photos of new fashionable checkered dresses for 2019, you can see a variety of not only patterns, but also cut styles. Long floor-length models will be the most relevant, and short versions should end no lower than the mid-knee line.

For autumn, a black and white checkered dress is more suitable, which can be combined with a white or black jacket, as well as beige shoes. Now in fashion. You can complement an achromatic outfit with red, which will make the image more rich and bold. Many stars love checkered Scottish dresses - Emma Watson really suits this pattern in the form of a fluffy knee-length dress. A red checkered dress, which is formed by white and black perpendicular stripes of different widths, can be worn to a party, complemented with shiny accessories. You shouldn’t wear stilettos with this color – it’s better to choose a stable heel.

A sheath dress in the signature colors of the Burberry Fashion House is indispensable both for business negotiations and for a less formal event. A large check is a plain fabric with thin perpendicular lines located far from each other - at a distance of about 7-8 cm. This is the optimal pattern for overweight ladies, it will help balance the silhouette. On the contrary, small designs suit petite girls. A white checkered dress looks very gentle and feminine, even carefree, especially if it is made of light fabric. But white wool would be no less successful - such an outfit will create a cozy and warm image. Photos of new checkered dresses for 2019 show that designers are using the most daring combinations of shades, including blue and lilac, blue-gray and peach, white and cream. Sometimes the models resemble tiled mosaics - probably the couturiers decided to move as far as possible from the usual “school” pattern.

Checkered dress for the office - what to combine with

Before you find out what you can combine with a checkered dress for the office, you need to choose the optimal style for this occasion. For a business style, a sheath dress of a discreet length is suitable. For ladies with narrow hips, we recommend peplum styles, and for those with narrow shoulders, we recommend puffed sleeves, which, by the way, can be long. It is better to choose achromatic shades, combining them with black or beige accessories. Plain dark jackets are perfect. To make your figure seem more feminine, choose fitted ones - a straight cut along with a cage will expand the silhouette.

Choosing summer models

Summer dresses in a checkered pattern can be either with a straight, loose skirt or with a fluffy one. They are sewn from light flowing fabrics, but keep in mind that the “sun” style is not entirely suitable for a large check - it will not be visible, but will merge into a single pockmarked spot. We choose summer models from light, easily draped fabrics in cheerful colors.

Midi length is optimal for a flared skirt, and shortened models look nicer in a straight cut. A long floor-length plaid dress can become your favorite if you dare to wear it at least once. A sleeveless sundress can be complemented with a plain bolero and small-heeled shoes, and in hot weather open light sandals with flat soles are suitable. A long dress with sleeves and a closed top looks very stylish; you should wear a plain neckerchief with it and choose a laconic bag.

Evening options in checkered design

Even the simplest ornament will look incredibly impressive if you choose the right style of checkered dress. For special occasions, choose long, flared models with an angelica neckline or a deep back neckline. Evening plaid dress options require the right choice of accessories and shoes.

When going to a party, wear an asymmetrical dress with one sleeve or an original slanted hem. Volumetric draperies and bows, metal fittings are welcome. For a date, inserts, corseted options and pastel shades are suitable.

Photos of checkered dresses for 2019 will allow you to fully appreciate the grace and self-sufficiency of such clothes. These are bold and at the same time elegant outfits that will highlight your unique style.

I’m finally ready to show and tell how I create my products. Today I start sewing a tartan dress. I started making the pattern 2 weeks ago, but I only started cutting it today, since everything is complicated with time, a session in the yard and work in parallel.

We will sew something like this, only we will make it fitted, with long sleeves, the collar will be of a different shape and the cage will go straight, and not diagonally. We will add a beautiful lock at the back, and at the front we will make a circular frill with a cameo brooch.

So, of course, it all starts with building a basic pattern. I made it a long time ago and have sewn a lot of clothes using it. I work in AutoCAD. The modeling here is quite simple. We move the chest dart, now it comes from the side seam, and increase the length. The sleeve is standard. The back has become longer. The collar was built with a one-piece stand-up, it was not at the base. It was --> became

Checkered print is one of the most popular, which is why checkered dresses are often found in the wardrobes of fashionistas and on catwalks. Let's discuss which plaid outfits are now the most popular, what they come in, and what to wear with a dress with a plaid pattern.

Who is it suitable for?

The check can be safely called a universal print, since such a pattern is suitable for any figure and any style of clothing. Checkered dresses can be worn to a gala reception, a friendly meeting, or to work. It is only important to choose the appropriate version of such a print and skillfully complement the outfit with accessories and other clothes.

Types of checkered print

Depending on the size and color, checkered patterns come in the following types:

Vichy

In this pattern, two colors alternate in the form of horizontal and vertical stripes. Their intersection forms squares of the third shade. The pattern is in demand for the Provence style, as well as in the country style. If the squares formed by the intersection of stripes are large, the most popular color of this “Vichy” option is black and white. The colored version of such a cell is usually formed by small squares. This checkered print goes well with plain pastel fabric, lace and denim. For example, by adding a clog and a denim jacket to a similar checkered dress, you will get a successful summer country look, and by pairing a cotton dress with a Vichy checkered pattern with stiletto heels and picking up a clutch, you can create a nice evening outfit.

Plaid

This version of the checkered pattern, which came into fashion from the national Scottish costume, is also called tartan. It has not lost its popularity for more than one year. Most often, tartan is used in dress models that are worn in cool weather. Thanks to this pattern, you can visually correct your figure.

mesh cage

In this pattern, thin stripes intersect to form a grid. Typically, a checkered print like this uses one color, available in several shades. This pattern is appropriate for both a business style and a romantic look. You can go to the office in a mesh sheath dress with pumps, or you can go on a date in a cotton outfit with this print and ballet flats.

Madras cage

This is the name for an asymmetrical checkered pattern, which mainly uses black, white, sand and red. It is not used in business style, but is in demand mainly for youth fashion.

English check

Although this checkered pattern is more typical for a men's suit, it can also be found in dresses. Classic shades for this type of checkered print are gray, beige, blue, brown, burgundy, black and white and dark green.

Styles

The checkered pattern looks best in outfits of this style:

• Sheath dress.
• Floor-length dress with long sleeves.
• A-line outfit.
• Dress Basques.
• Dress shirt.
• Strict straight dress.
• Sundress.
• Cropped model without straps.
• Model with a loose fit.

Fabrics

Dresses with small Vichy prints are made from satin, silk, cotton and velvet. Plaid models for cool weather are traditionally presented in cashmere, thick cotton and wool.

Length

Long to the floor

Maxi plaid dress models are very elegant and feminine. Long models with a closed collar and long sleeves are especially common now. They are both strict and attractive. The diagonal check print is often used for evening dresses with sleeveless or one-shoulder straps. In such a dress, the figure looks slender and tall.

Midi

Mid-length plaid outfits are most often elegant straight dresses with long sleeves, complemented by a thin belt. This length also occurs in plaid cotton sundresses and dresses with a shirt cut.

A short

Checkered dresses with a mini skirt are often represented by sundresses with thin straps, formal dresses with a belt, airy summer dresses without sleeves and playful dresses with a full skirt. A shirt dress that is in demand these days can also be represented in this length.

With a collar

Many plaid formal dresses have a collar, which further emphasizes the elegance of the outfit. At the same time, such a small collar can be a bright accent if its color stands out against the background of the main checkered pattern. A checkered shirt dress is usually sewn with a turn-down collar.

With sleeves

The sleeves of a plaid outfit help accentuate the style of the dress. The straight cut of the product is complemented by straight long sleeves or three-quarter sleeves. In plaid shirt dresses, the sleeves are often short.

Colors

Black

Such dresses with a dark base help create an elegant and laconic look. Most often, in such outfits, black is combined with white. A successful addition to a black checkered print will be bright details, for example, a belt, bag and scarlet shoes.

White

This base for a plaid print allows you to get a discreet everyday outfit and looks especially good on summer plaid outfits. A popular option is a white canvas crossed with thin black stripes. The chess print, complemented with white accessories, looks no less interesting.

Reds

It is the red color that serves as the basis for such a popular checkered print as tartan. In this pattern, black complements red. A bright red plaid dress looks good with a plain dark jacket or cardigan, as well as black shoes and a black leather handbag.

Greens

The dark green base of the checkered pattern is often complemented by black. Also, green checkered dress models can be presented in combinations of several green shades. The combination of green and black checkered with yellow and blue also looks attractive.

Fashion trends

Nowadays, checkered print is loved and in demand among designers. Modern checkered outfits attract with their expressiveness and color combinations. For the summer season, fashion designers advise you to look for a checkered dress in a minimalist style with a loose fit. In such outfits, the checkered pattern is fully revealed. An equally interesting option for a checkered pattern for a summer dress would be its use in multi-layered outfits trimmed with drapery.

Spring-autumn checked models look especially organic. Sheath dresses are suitable for different looks - from gentle evening to strict office. The modern trend in their tailoring is an emphasis on creativity and a little pretentiousness of the outfit. In many of the designer’s creations, the checkered print is presented on a tight-fitting bodice, flounces on the hem, and complex draperies. Patterns that combine a cell located in different directions, as well as squares of the same type with different sizes are relevant.
