Sydnie, LOVE style no. 6

It's feminine and modest and has youthful qualities. Love it.

Chicks dig guys in kilts... well, guys dig chicks in tartan, too!

This is what Scottish Tartans Museum calls a Hostess Skirt: http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/hostess.html

Thanks for that! I was going to suggest that what you want sounds like a hostess skirt. Generally these are seen worn formally, but I think they look quite lovely for casual wear, as well.

Here's one of my photos from the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games a few years back. This young lady was wearing a full length hostess skirt with a simple white tank top, and in my opinion she looked 300% better than other young women her age with skirts barely past their buttocks!

Not your grandmother's tartan skirt!

Sydnie, that is way too fun. I adore it. I might have to save that picture if you don't mind.

any suggestions for a district Tartan for Meghan that would be cheaper than a special weave fabric. Is there a Wisconsin district Tartan or other that would fit the bill?
kind regards
Simon

She does look great!

I want one not for everyday wear but mainly for holidays and special events. But I don't want it too foofy either since I don't want it to come off costumey. There's sort of a fine line between looking like you are proud of your traditional clothing and looking like you are reinacting a period movie. I don't want to look like a period movie. lol.

I think Sydnie's picture from that other thread (the style no. 6) is pretty much exactly what I am looking for

Also, the one she posted with the giant bow is pretty amazing.

LOL Wisconsin. Guaranteed it would be red and white tartan...maybe a little black thrown in

I think I would want a Scottish district. I will ask my gramps which area our family is from.

But I still am interested to know if theres a Wisconsin tartan

It's not my picture to begin with, somebody else posted and I saved it. . . and so it goes!

LOL never say never. Once hooked one is never enough, I think most of us think what can I have next? Once we have that Clan tartan then we want another, perhaps Isle of Skye, Lochaber district, Freedom of Scotland, Black Watch, Royal Stewart, Braveheart, etc.... then there are the accessories .............. roll on christmas.

Meghan - Take a look at some of the cute and beautiful pictures in the top right corner of this one http://www.tartansauthority.com/ and some of the you-gotta-be-kidding pictures too.

If you take a look about at the ladies departments of various online highland outfitters, you'll see a number of long skirts. I'm a priest, but... I think they're sexy!

I'm not quite sure how to post a photo, but if I can figure it out, when I get home I'll try to put up one I made for my wife. She looks quite spectacular in it, and although it is without question cut for a womanly body (!!!), I constructed it exactly as I would for a man ... except it's in a much llighter weight than most men would wear. She lovingly (?) refers to it as her "horse blanket" because it's so warm, but from the way she walks in it, she knows how good she looks!!!
