What are checks and what kinds of checks are there?
We all know what a plaid dress is, or do we? There are many different types of checks, so a plaid dress can be many different things.
Checks can be completely different and have different names. It doesn't make it any easier that many of the checks have different names in different languages and that we have partly adopted English names and expressions for certain checks. For example, the large group of checks that used to be called tartan is now more often called tartan or even plaid (blanket). Tartan is the name of the overall group of the many Scottish 'clan' checks.
We have especially many beautiful vintage style dresses in tartan in the fall and winter. So if you're looking for a tartan plaid dress, this category is the place to look.
Looking for a gingham plaid dress? Or maybe you've heard the term pepita check? Or kitchen check? If you're picturing kitchen check, you probably know what it is. You'll find a vintage style dress in pepita checks here.
Pepita checks are named after a famous Spanish dancer from the 1800s. The beautiful checks got a big resurgence in the form of gingham swing dresses in the 1950s, where you often saw them in pastel colors.
Rooster feather is also called Dogtooth
A cock feather check dress is a classic woven check. This is an extremely popular pattern that never goes out of fashion. It is usually black and white, but can have many monochrome shades. Unlike gingham or tartan, these are often only in two colors. The most classic is black and white.
