This THREAD has been a GOD SEND. My youngest Daughter, who is in Grad School, & has for several years worked for a Major National Clothing Retailer, as a Fashion Consultant & Model. She often attends Dressy affairs & has been looking for a gown to wear, proclaiming her CELTIC ROOTS ( Scots, Irish, Welsh ) This is a picture of a gown she was interested in
She asked my advise. on it, plus any other ideas. I sent her this post. THANKS.

BTW, here is a picture I carry in my wallet. This was a picture used in her companies catalog a couple of years ago. ( NOTE- I cropped & blocked out the faces for obvious reasons )

I think she would look uttlery smashing in that gown. Looks great. She should go for it.

BTW, our RSCDS demo team is looking for new outfit ideas for the women. We're thinking of a black skirt with tartan gores, white blouse, and a vest. Any thoughts???

I think that sounds quite nice. I'm not a fan of the "all white gown" look for SCD, though lord knows a lot of ladies do that.

Puffer, I believe that the gown you've pictured is in fact a corset worn over a skirt, and petticoats.

If you search the forum for my thread on tartan gowns, which got almost no traction with our lasses here (which is fine) you will see links to a number of options. Following the picture URLS will get you to some retailers.

Here's one.

Look at the corsets as well, which can be teamed up with a tartan long skirt, or not as the lady desires...

A personal favorite (in part because I have a definite crush on the model) is the Hortensia corset, which just happens to be on sale, at least in three different tartans.



Just a question......How many of you lasses out there would wear that?
