All I have to say here is "Hi, Jessica. Welcome to the chaos".

Actually, that's not true, I have something else to write. There's another kilt-wearing Jessica here. You'll find her, here and there on the forum but mostly in the Athletics forum, as she breaks another "Highland Tradition" that only the men throw hammers and cabers. You see, she's an athlete in my throwing club. Her handle here is MacFhearchair.

She wears a sportkilt on the competition field, and wears her Farquharson wool kilt whenever she's inclined to dress up a bit. She teams it up with a nice leather doublet and whatever blouse seems good to her. ... and she looks just grand. She will also happily take the wind out of anyone who tries to tell her that she CAN'T wear a kilt.

GoodGirlGonePlaid also wears shortish-but-not-X-rated kilts to throw in at the Games, though she doesn't post here at all any more, really. I could name several others who do the same.

sydnie7 wears kilted skirts that she's made. In fact, she's made an absolutely grand kilted skirt in the X Marks the Scot tartan and I think she looks just fantastic in it. She's quite the seamstress.

Carry on.

Oh and welcome....welcome also to Copperheid and lesley.

My two cents...if you want a practical womans perspective on all this, from the UK, from someone who's been doing this for a good long time, then listen to what Anne has to say. That's "pleater"..that's her handle here on X Marks.
