Mexpiper --- You were right! My boyfriend and I had origianlly planned to put everyone in differnt tartans related to each of our attendants families. We couldn't find true tartans in the LA fabricdistrict,but we found a great wool blend green/yellow/red plaid. We decided to buy just one fabric and put both grooms, both best men and both ring boys in the same thing. Since we needed 30 yards (OK I probably could have done it with about 22, but the clerk offered such a great deal on 30 it gives me the slop to completly mess up sewing a kilt and not run out of fabric -- plus we also wanted to make father of the grooms neck ties and maybe mother of the grooms scarfs). So for about $200 I have the material to make the kilts. Now I just have to make them. My Boyfriend's Best man's will be first, then my best man, then me, then my boyfriend.... and the ring boys just 2 weeks before (they are 3 1/2 and 4 and growing like weeds -- I fear if I don't wait until the last minute they won't fit the kilt I build).
Thanks to everyone.... I'm sure I'll have questions and pics to post as this goes along!
Cheers
Chris
