You need to bear in mind that during the Regency era Highland Dress was essentially dressing up clothing for most, not something worn every day. It's unlikely that anyone, certainly not a Lowlander, would have worn the kilt or trews as everyday garb. Ditto women wearing a sash. If a woman wore a tartan skirt or suit it would have been something fashionable but in tartan, forget any clan affiliation.
