... or Shaw Dress to make a Breacan Feile [great kilt] to wear to the Stone Mountain Highland Games in October...

For what it's worth, "dress" tartans are associated with the woman's historical arisaid garment. In other words, it's "dress" like a woman wears, vice "dress" meaning more formal (dress blues, etc...).

My humble suggestion is to stay away from the dress tartan. I'm guessing it's probably a custom-weave, anyway, so it's probably a moot point. Best of luck!

Cordially,

David

Geb Reilly is who I usually buy fabric from, this is one of his listings. It is a double-width piece four yards long. Don't know if it is enough for a great kilt.

Regards aye,
