    Most "dress tartans" have a large amount of white.
    Yup, that sounds like it is MacDonald modern.

    Just a quick note for those of you budding kiltmakers. Notice that the Dress MacDonald is an asymmetric (non-matching, non-centering) tartan. Very few tartans are asymmetric, and asymmetry can introduce all sorts of problems and complexities for pleating. If you have a double width piece, it may even be impossible to make a kilt from it.
