Princess Margaret Rose Tartan

[ctbuchanan]

Someone gave us this kilted skirt. People often give me things like this because of my Scottish connection. It is the Princess Margaret Rose tartan, named after the Queen's sister. It was made in the 1930's and is in excellent condition. Apparently the tartan was quite popular (P. Margaret was born in 1930) although I've never seen it before. I confirmed the tartan in the registry

The broad dark bands are dark forest green (sorry the light doesn't show that) and there are thin black stripes on the white. It was sold by Bourne and Hollingsworth a posh department store in London. One description said that it was a reverse of the MacGregor tartan (red and green switched). Not sure if that is accurate.
