    Of course, this was my point as well.

    I was just trying to make sure that the information was stated, and not offend any party for any reason!

    • My Prince Charlie

    From Uniformalwearhouse.com
    • A wing-collar tuxedo shirt
    • A black bowtie
    • Studs and cufflinks

    • A "fur daywear sporran" from Stillwater
    • Black hose from a kilt store's booth at the LA County Irish Festival
    • Saffron flashes from Stillwater
    • A pair of plain black dress shoes
    • NO sgian dubh, due to a zero tolerance policy regarding having weapons at school events
    • A great big smile

    I just need to press the shirt and get rid of the creases in the fly plaid. And, of course, stuff like pick up the corsage, get the limo, et cetera ad infinitum…

    As soon as I get them, I'll post pictures.

    Cheers.
    Well done! Enjoy the prom.

    Agreed! Enjoy the prom. And being kilted will be a memory that will last a lifetime!

    (p.s. to add to the chorus, you must post pictures after it is over!)

    Prom Advice

    I suggest that you go down the hire line unless you think that you will get a lot of wear from your purchases. Of course you could buy the kilt and hire the jacket etc. Bugpiper on Ebay is excellant. Good luck!
