Check the lasses wear thread, it's in the "Advice" forum.
One thing about what the ladies wear in the USA is that there aren't a lot of rules. For us guys, OH MY GOD, YOU'RE WEARING YOUR KILT A HALF INCH TOO LONG....and so on. Some people feel that the kilt must be *just so* and to do otherwise is to grossly disrespect hundreds of years of tradition. Of course, not everybody feels that way, but some people do.
On the other hand, no such "rules" exist for the womenfolk. If they're got the legs to show off in a tartan miniskirt, then go for it. If they want to wear a tartan vest, then that's great. If they just want a sash, then that's fine. If they want a complete pants suit in tartan, nobody is going to accuse them of assaulting the Immortal Memory Of Our Ancient Forefathers.
On the other hand, as Jock Scot has pointed out.....if your lasses want to look like Scottish women, they likely won't wear anything tartan at all. Even a tartan sash is "too flash" according to our friend Jock Scot, and Heaven forbid that they wear something outlandish like a tartan hat. So dress them up in something tweedy, an old sweater and wellies and call it good.
