kilted Halloween Costume

[Richland]

I've Decided to do the Brave heart thing too. Again not historicaly accurate but it is Haloween for petes sake. This is the only time you can wear anything you want to and get away with it, so if i want to walk down the street with my face painted half blue in a great kilt i figure i will. Now to figure out how to put the great kilt on easily. will try to get picts from the the 2 partys im going to. It is my intention to never see myself on the "Kilt Dont" thread on this site...

I personally don't have a problem with people using their kilts as a costume. If the costume is historically accurate, regardless of the time period, that's great! People have mentioned that they're dressing like William Wallace from Braveheart, but also mention that it's historically inaccurate. Well the outfit is historically accurate for a certain time, just not Wallace's time. You could say you're going as a Scotsman of the Xteenth century.

What I don't like seeing is when the kilt is mixed in with something else. I've seen pictures of people dressed as kilted Stormtroopers and such. I must say that I don't like that. Nor do I like seeing those cheap gag costumes that KFP mentioned.

I see my kilt as a historical costume that celebrates my heritage.

We have just been invited to a party and I'll wear my kilt, highland shirt, waist coat, period shoes, sporran, knitted bonnet kilt hose, with a mask.
Nothing wrong with that.

Just kidding here. I'll most likely be my alter ego. As pictured here.
