Very trying times indeed.
I’m ok in Melbourne we’ve been thorough harsh lockdown and come out the other side.

So in plain English...
You’re looking for a tailor that is experienced in historical costuming?

I “think” there was a difference but I just can’t remember where I read the information/source.
From memory it had more to do with class and lifestyle.... the lowlanders were more aligned with...

So cute... but I would caution against the great kilt method!
I think it would result in a very very happy toddler running around semi naked trailing some fabric on the ground being chased by...
