Gingham VS Plaid

At church someone gave Solveig a bag of clothes and she loves many of them, one was this shirt

Then it got us talking about Plaid VS Gingham, I thought they were the same thing or that I knew the difference, but after a quick google search we got the answer.

A plaid pattern includes vertical and horizontal lines of varying sizes and colors. … Also the most popular pattern for flannel shirts. Gingham, on the other hand, is much more orderly. The colors in gingham are always white and one other color.

So this shirt is gingham!

and who knew there were so many differences?? Look at this!!

I learned more in this post than all of high school (26 Photos) | Fashion  vocabulary, Fashion terminology, Clothing fabric patterns

I found this interesting post

Try the quiz before peeking at the answers below.

Now doing this search and remembering that Gingham ALWAYS includes white and then seeing ads for plaid shirts we might see errors?? Like this shirt, it says plaid but is it really gingham??

Check, Plaid, Gingham, Tartan! My head is spinning…. LOL
