Since I have no son, I would like to purchase my Daughter a women's style traditional kilt, with our Macdonald Clanranald Modern Tartan. I am very confused when purchasing a woman's kilt, either by PM or replying to this request could somebody offer me guidance. The criteria is my daughter is 40 years old, mother of three, so it is important to purchase appropriate style. I would like to have it made in Scotland, as it would be special. I like the traditional style women kilt knew length, not the long or mid calf.
I would like to know is 11 oz wool good for this, I think 16 oz would be too heavy. Can anybody recommend a good place to purchase a woman's traditional kilt, I went to a couple of places and they seem to be very limited, and it must be the family tartan and of course finally AFFORDABLE. I thing $400.-- for a women's Kilt is a little too much.... I would like not to exceed $300. for one made to order to my daughters measurements she is about a size 10 and 5 foot 2 inches.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I know the site has sponsors, so if you recommend a place other than a sponsor email or IM me I don;t want to break rules but really need the help... I also what to buy a second one for my granddaughter who is 13 years old but not as critical to the handmade one for my daughter. Any suggestions and guidance would be appreciated...THANKS
