Help finding inexpensive tartan fabrics (by the yard/metre)

I'm an inch or two taller, but his checkbook is a lot thicker.

OK, the skirt pattern is an old New Look pattern, #6176 - probably 1980s or 1990s (it has a bar code, but I can't remember when those started). She built the version shown on the left and just added more length to it. You don't find an awful lot of New Look brand patterns around, but there are some out there. I think they were more popular in England and Australia. Always check old pattern listings for the photo of the package. The pattern companies have a nasty habit of reusing old pattern numbers. You might think you're buying a skirt pattern and end up with one for a ninja turtle suit for Halloween.

Thanks Todd! I love the added length - I would admittedly not give that pattern a second look with just the envelope art. The full length is so elegant! I'll poke around ebay and etsy and see if I can find a copy. I really appreciate you taking the time to find out and report back.

Edited to add - snagged the pattern on Etsy, thanks again
