Oh good! Someone was able to read past my babbling and figure out what I was saying... I was worried I wouldn't make sense

I guess the thing is, I'm new to this. I found this board for my husband because he always wanted a kilt. About that time, I started back on my genealogy searching to see where this Irish ancestry supposedly was in my family. I haven't found it, but have found hints of Scottish ancestry. Imagine my shock. Now, even though my father always told me about his mother going on about Irish this and Irish that, there was nothing to really celebrate that in our family. Just rumors or talk. No cultural information or anything like that. I've done more than my family really has to truly find out what it's about and have a little "taste" of my roots, so to speak.

So, I have no clue what ladies wear, or if there even are rules for us. I know about the Kilt Do's and Don'ts for guys and that there are even differing opinions on what is worn and how. I guess what I've been trying to do is find out what women typically wear that's a little "traditional", if there even is such a thing. I can look at clothing websites, but sometimes it's only hints of tartan or they'll have the model in everything available through their store (I'm thinking overkill with accessories, but I could be wrong). And sometimes it's only a generic look and I wonder if that might be overdone. I guess the focus is on guys and kilts, and that's fine, but I'd like to know what ladies can do

So far, I've really gotten some good information from this thread and I'm sure I'll be able to add a little bit of my own tastes and personality to things as well. Not to mention a little variety, but for starters, I want to stick with something "kilt-like" for ladies
