Jeburr,
Welcome to XMTS!
The Panache Law of Fashion says that:
"The little black dress trumps the finest kilted outfit"
Wear an elegant (black) evening dress and pin a sash of matching tartan.
Kinda of like this

You hardly even notice me in this picture
If you don't fancy a "little black dress" then go for a longer more sophisticated evening gown (but keep the sash) .
Trying to make a matching tartan gown isn't going to have the same impact.
Hope this was of help
Cheers
Jamie
