New to Celtic dress

[Jeburr]

HELP! My significant other has decided to have a Montrose Doublet made and I need to make something to match it. What in tarnation do I (a woman) wear that is the formal match to it? I know what material he's using, but I don't know what pattern to use!!!!

Please help!

Jeburr,

Welcome to XMTS!

The Panache Law of Fashion says that:

"The little black dress trumps the finest kilted outfit"

Wear an elegant (black) evening dress and pin a sash of matching tartan.

Kinda of like this



You hardly even notice me in this picture

If you don't fancy a "little black dress" then go for a longer more sophisticated evening gown (but keep the sash) .

Trying to make a matching tartan gown isn't going to have the same impact.


Hope this was of help

Cheers

Jamie

Jeburr,

I'll second Panache if you are going formal.

Yes, as sash is more than acceptable. You could also have a sash from your right shoulder and then pin/bow on the left hip. You could also have a long tartan skirt.
