White blouse, Tudor embroidered bodice above a plain skirt....now just change out that embroidered bodice and put in a bodice in the weathered clan tartan.



Heart stopping!

Tartn CAN get out of control, however.....



Feeling "EDGY"??? Prhaps a little Gothic?



OK, now tell me this lady is not gorgeous???

You know, I think your wife has OPTIONS.....**laughing**

To toot my own horn here, I made my wife a simple tartan skirt. It is simply a tube sewn about 4" larger than her hip measure, with a drawstring waist, and she looks fantastic in it. Sorry about the glare from the blouse, my digital camera doesn't have a decent white balance.

Those white blouses with the lacy jabot and cuffs are very attractive and feminine. They look great with a sash and plain dark long skirt.

Welcome to X Marks the Scot Mrs. jordanjm!

Alan has posted a lot of pretty neat ideas for a ladies outfit. My observation is that the simple black dress with the sash is the best way to go to be striking.

An observation:

The first Scottish Country Dance my lovely wife and I attending was filled with dashing gentlemen in white jacobite shirts and gorgeous tartan kilts. Most of the ladies were wearing tartan skirts or patterned dresses. The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and I were lost in a sea of color. Who was the one person who kept catching our eye? It was a lovely lady in a slim elegant black dress. The simple black made her stand out from the crowd.

So how do you outshine a tartan peacock? Don't compete with him head on with a tartan dress, top, or skirt. Use a single dark color to draw the eye and a small matching tartan accessory to show your clan affiliation.



Cheers

Jamie

arggghhhh, Alan H! I didn't need the temptations!

I am like brandycr; got to get some mad money together and go shopping!

Hmmmmmm, Mrs. Cav would look gorgeous in one of these in Fraser Hunting

If that one is a bit much, how about this? I'd give blood to get the Luminous Joan into a NacNaughton top like this, and you can wear it with blue jeans or shorts or with a dress..
