That has a lot of white in it. The material I have has only red stripe, with under pattern of navy blue and dark green.

That sounds more like the MacDonald modern than the MacDonald dress. Got a picture?
*BTW,
Most "dress tartans" have a large amount of white.

Yup, that sounds like it is MacDonald modern.

Just a quick note for those of you budding kiltmakers. Notice that the Dress MacDonald is an asymmetric (non-matching, non-centering) tartan. Very few tartans are asymmetric, and asymmetry can introduce all sorts of problems and complexities for pleating. If you have a double width piece, it may even be impossible to make a kilt from it.

McDonald pleating should start by folding Ronald at the belt line.
