Tartan Types and Purposes:

[Jimmy Carbomb]

First, I find out I'm going to be a wooly mongrel for wearing a kilt, and then I find out I've got a kilt made from a ladies' tartan (MacKenzie Dress.)

Remember... the ONLY information that I'll give on tartans comes directly from the Registries and Authorities. They are doing their best to make it so that the "Dress" tartans aren't confused with the English term for "formal". There are, in fact, formal tartans! Hard to find, but in existance.
