The Ginghams Paper Dolls
The Ginghams were four little Victorian girls. Were they sisters or cousins? I don't know, but I used to pair them off as siblings with Sarah/Carrie and Becky/Katie as the pairs. Gingham is yarn dyed, plain weaved cotton fabric usually striped or checked (according to my Random House dictionary) so, you can surmise that they got their name because of the clothes they wear.
