Wedding Kilt help please urgent

[frankreid]

Help please...

My eldest Daughter is getting married in August.

I am driving up to Edinburgh (this Friday AM) with her and her sister who is also her chief bridesmaid.

I did intend to go for Tartan Trews, however I have been told that this in not the proper dress for me to have, and that I should be going for the correct kilt type etc.
Also I need to go ONLY to the better quality kilt makers in the city as I want it to last for any future weddings Etc.. so help all around please.

Regards

FRank.

Welcome, Frank. So, what is it that you are asking, exactly? Are you looking for a recommendation for a kiltmaker in your neighborhood? The tartan you should choose? The accessories you should have for formal wear? August is almost over, so you might see about hiring a kilt for this event.

Regards,
Rex.

Assuming you're looking for a good quality kilt fast I'd recommend going to one of the reputable kiltmakers in your area (which you didn't specify) and seeing what they have in ex-hires. Then you can wear it at future events. Or as Rex mentioned, just rent one for this one and buy one later.

Now do you need any help writing your speech?

Rent. It's not just a canceled Broadway play.

I'd definitely go with rental, as time is very short! Kilts take time to make, and there usually is a fairly long queue. In addition a quality kilt is made to order only, and as such the cost is not cheap! However a well made quality kilt is worth every penny and will last past your lifetime!

It sounds as though time is short, so hiring is your only real option. Sadly, the choice of tartans are usually limited, rest assured, by hiring the kilt, you will be only doing what most Scots do when a wedding arrives on the scene. Properly "cut" trews are very elegant by the way.

Sorry all I should have said August 2009.

what I meant buy time being short was that I drive to Edinburgh in the morning to look for a kilt maker...

I know my tartan "Robertson". However I am not sure if it would be right me wearing Trews at her wedding or if only a Kilt is the right dress to wear for such an occasion.

You could check out Hector Russell at 95 Princes Street. I have a kilt from Hector Russell as well as several accessories, they have always been of high quality.
