Since Christopher Kane chose gingham as the material du jour in his spring/summer collection, high-street designers have also been looking to Brigitte Bardot's Lolita for style inspiration. Gingham sun-dresses have been popping up all over the shops, going down a more traditional route with light cotton checks, as opposed to Kane's boudoir-inspired chiffon, cut-out designs.
Track down original or hand-made fifties-style gingham dresses on ebay or etsy.com if you want one-offs, or check out Lipsy's sheer baby-doll to get Kane chic at cut-price. The dress has even won a fan in Laetitia over at top fashion blog Mademoiselle Robot .
