Gingham

Gingham is the name of a Memory in Act Il of We Happy Few.

Location[]

At the park where Sally and Arthur meet up in the Garden District, above the slide.

Mrs. Boyle tries to get Sally to wear a green gingham dress to keep away the wrong sort of attention from men.

Sally: "You can't expect me to wear that!"

Mrs. Boyle: "Since when did you care about fashion? I thought that was only for "silly" girls?"

Sally: "For god's sake, gingham? I'll look like Hansel and Gretel."

Mrs. Boyle: "You've been looking a bit too... provocative."

Sally: "Provocative! I don't even wear a bra yet!"

Mrs. Boyle: "Maybe you should. We don't want men to get the wrong idea about you."

Sally: "First I'm not doing enough to get a man, now I'm trying too hard?"

Mrs. Boyle: "Just wear the dress, will you? It'll keep away the wrong sort of attention."

It can be assumed that this is the same gingham dress Sally wore when she ran away from where the Hastings lived.
