Geo Gingham is a garment that was created in a draping course for the "Plaid Project" - an assignment where the class is paired off, and each pairing of students is given a plaid or striped fabric. The groups were given ten working hours to play with their fabric and create a design that corresponded and highlighted their assigned fabric.

After spending time to play with the fabric and develop some experimental and preliminary designs, Geo Gingham was finally created in four working hours. The purple gingham fabric is featured in this design, with the print being used both on the straight grain as we'll as on the bias to create interesting visual detail. The repetition of triangles can be seen throughout the garment. The bodice of the dress features a triangular cutout to show some skin, and allow a lighter feel. The full three tiered skirt is balanced with the fitted side of the skirt. Sharp geometric lines play well with the small-scale gingham print to create a beautiful, strong, yet whimsical design,
