Well having an X-Marks level education (thanks guys) on the kilt, I can guess what they are talking about.

My best guess on period Women's Highland wear is a chemise as underwear, then a kertle (under dress) with lacing which functions as a bra+corset+slip and then an outer dress, last comes an earasaid with a belt. The last being remarkably like a great kilt with the exception of being mostly white in color.

Okay scholars, is this about right?
Sounds good. Ren fests are not exactly perod accurate, but arisaids will work well for a generalized historic depiction. Tartan appeared toward the end of the Renaissance period, so it will still fit in.
