I have just ordered a Dress MacPherson Kilt. It will be worn with a Prince Charlie Coatee for an evening wedding. (I am giving the Bride away.) Hers is my question. I have read on this forum that White Hose are totally incorrect. Given the colors of the Dress MacPherson tartan, I was thinking of either Maroon or Black Hose. What are your thoughts about Flashes matching the tartan? I have ordered matching flashes, but I have also read (again on this forum) that matching flashes should not be worn. One last question about footwear: should I order Ghillie Brogues or will any standard black shoe work.

I am sorry to ask so many questions, but I really need to do this correctly. The bride is my step-daughter (I married her mother when she was an adult) and she asked me to give her away. The Scottish wedding was her idea. Any assistance in this matter will be gratefully accepted.

Thank you in advance.
