I believe SOHDA essentially uses the same costumes as SOBHD.
I've never seen a male wear fly plaid; it's optional, not required, and I can't see any reason anyone would want to bother with it.
New Zealand is a completely different animal, for reasons I've never known, actually. Dances, costumes, and steps are different, though of course there are many similarities. Females wear a bonnet with the kilt, and the female jig costume, at least, is nothing like in the SOBHD dress code. I've never seen a New Zealand dress code, so I don't know everything it entails; all I know is what I've seen in photos, a video or two, and a time when my dance school did a hornpipe using NZ steps for a show. I'm not certain how the SOBHD ties in in NZ.
Marvellous. Now would you be so kind as to translate for those of us who don't speak acronym?

Bill, your quote was actually Katia replying to my query. I've no idea what those acronyms are, either.

They're acronyms for the various dance governing bodies, as stated-- I didn't figure any of it would be of enough interest for anyone to care exactly what it stood for.

The NZ Dance Academy was founded before the SOBHD and has managed to keep free of its tyranny

The dress code is buried amongst all the general "bylaws".

Not to sound my own horn late to the party, but I make my own penannular brooches in my forge. Made one for the Great Kilt over All Hallows festivities.

My understanding of their implementation is that the fabric need not be pierced, but threaded around the pin and locked into place by the rotation of the circular portion.
Their construction is remarkably simple. I'd be glad to walk those interested through the process should they be interested.
