Help finding a tartan Dress MacInnes

[piperalpha]

I've been trying to find this tartan so I can buy enough to have a kilt made. I checked online to see if the mills have it but I haven't been successful in tracking it down. I wore it when I was a highland dancer. I still have the kilt. I'm trying to track it down so I can have a new kilt made. The Tartan is Dress MacInnes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are 2 version of this on the Scottish Register of Tartans - both reference DC Dalgliesh - one is clearly their design, the other likely to be so as well.

From the Dalgliesh website this looks like a custom weave so there will probably be a high minimum yardage.

I can't see the tartan on Clan by Scotweb (which is associated with Dalgliesh) but might be worth getting in touch with them.

You could also try contacting somewhere like Bonnie Tartan - they specialise in dance kilts but also make standard kilts as well. They might work out as a better option for small quantities if they have a trade account than dealing direct with Dalgliesh.

This was one of D. C. Dalgliesh Ltd's 'Dance Tartans', many of which date from the 1980's but I donlt think that they, or any other mill, stocks this now. It would therefore need to be a special weave. Not a problem but there is a minimum order which differs between mills but which will always be more expensive than stock patterns.
