Earasaid
My daughter wants to go to the Texas Renfair and I thought I would make some garb up. No problem, so I start researching Women's Highland wear, and about 16 hours later you know there is just about no hard information at all, same as with Men's Highland wear. Well having an X-Marks level education (thanks guys) on the kilt, I can guess what they are talking about.
My best guess on period Women's Highland wear is a chemise as underwear, then a kertle (under dress) with lacing which functions as a bra+corset+slip and then an outer dress, last comes an earasaid with a belt. The last being remarkably like a great kilt with the exception of being mostly white in color.
Okay scholars, is this about right?
