Fun at Charity Ball

Hello to everyone!

Few months ago, I finished my first self-hand-made kilt from Czech National tartan (some pistures are in my previous threads). Unofrtunatelly, I am wearing it not so often - just for some special occasions. It is really uncommon wearing a kilt in Czech Republic. I´d like to show you one picture from last week Charity Ball in Czech Republic. It was really funny, I attracted quite a stir especially during dancing traditional Czech dances - for me "mission accomplished"

I know that my kilt is not the perfect one, I have seen here at this forum many of them which are more precise and more profi, but I like this mine. What was funny too, lots of people was just stearing at me and thinking something about fools, some of them were really curious about "traditional question", but one man just started to talk with me, that this is not how the Scots are wearing it - he was one weak in Scotland for a trip and returned as an expert on kilts

I just had to smile at him, because I have in my mind your oppinion that there is no kilt policy. So what do you think? Is it OK to dress up as follows on an informal ball?

Jiri, it looks very nice indeed. You should be very proud of the way you look. I wish you many more happy times wearing your kilt.

Jiri you have the pleats at the back and the length is fine. don't worry what others think. You look fine to me.

I doubt anyone could find fault with what you're doing, especially with that great smile on your face. You took a risk, did something different, and enjoyed the result.

I think you look splendid.

Hi, Jiři, and well done. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Forget about the self-appointed experts and enjoy being kilted.
Best regards,
Mike

I think the Czech National Tartan looks great.

By the way, I had the chance to attend the Highland Games at Sychrov in 2008 and 2009. First year was wet and rainy, but the second year was great weather. It was a beautiful location.

Regards,

Tom

Jiri, You sport the tartan well. I hope to one day to have a kilt in it myself. I'm glad you had a good time and hope you find more opportunities to wear your kilt.
