Mystery Tartan

[kiltcrazy]

Hi All,
I'm wondering if any of you might know what tartan this gown Caitriona is wearing is made from?
I want to make the costume as one of my winter projects.

I'm not seeing your photo but if you are talking about the costumes from Outlander the Tartans were specifically designed for the TV show.

There are three different Outlander Tartans. The three are basically the same. One has a blue line, one a red line and one with no added line. The colors are taken from the same pallett as the Weathered Tartans.
I believe all the fabric woven in these designs are plain weave and of a fairly light weight.

I am pretty sure that The Celtic Croft is one of the authorized sources for Outlander stuff. (One of our Top Banner Advertisers.)

Hi Steve,

I have been to the Celtic Croft website and they don't appear to have this particular tartan.
I'm hoping someone might recognize it so I have a name to call it by when getting in touch with suppliers.

My picture seems to be listed as an attachment on the main forum board.
Sorry for the confusion, I am new at posting here and thought I had included the picture in the body of my listing.

I'll get the hang of it, I hope

Any hints would be appreciated

Regards
Kimberly

There are 2 ways to upload pics.

One is to link to a photo that is already on the web somewhere. This can by your website or one of the photo hosting sites. (A caution about using photbucket though. They are now charging an annual fee to link from photobucket to a third site.)

The second way is to upload your photo from your home computer. This is done with the small image icon in the menu above the text window. You choose what photo you want and then you must hit the "Upload" button.

if all else fails send me the photo in an email and I'll upload it for you. steve@xmarksthescot.com

This is awesome, thank you so much.
This is the tartan I am talking about.
I want to see if I can get it before I purchase the wool to make the matching shawl and corset.
Thanks again for your help Steve
Cheers

Sorry Kimberly but this is not one of the Outlander Tartans that I am familiar with.
