The Luminous Joan has two kilts/skirts.
One is a very nice wool, knee-length kilt skirt in Dress Blue Stewart. Honest truth is that she essentially never wears it. I think it's seen the light of day twice: once about 6 years ago to visit my 90 year old stepmother in her care home and once for a Scottish dressy event...I forget which, exactly. Basically, she hates the thing and tells me that she won't wear it because it makes her look like a Librarian.
Personally, I don't see the problem with looking like a Librarian, but that's her quote, not mine.
One of her ancestors, definitely Scottish was surnamed Smart, which is a sept of Clan MacKenzie. I got her a sportkilt in the MacKenzie tartan, which she has now worn twice. She likes it because it's not too hot. It's long enough that the scars from two hip surgeries are covered up but yet it's not so long as to be matronly..... or "Librarianly", I suppose. The Sportkilt is of course "in theory" made for a man, but they're not "fitted" in any way and she wears it just fine.
