Women's kilts/skirts?

[Rex_Tremende]

Here are some tartan frocks for your consideration:

(Though this one might look good on you if it were, let's say, tea length perhaps?)

And finally, how about this tartan explosion?

Last one, I promise...

For a more demure look, I noticed this one from Bonbright Woolens:

Women have a lot of options when it comes to dressing in tartan that don't involve wearing a kilt. Good luck.

as a female kilt wearer, I say just wear what you're comfortable with.

Rex- as always, your posts are impeccable. Those are some great examples. However, you have as of now ensured that I will spend the next six months broke, since my wife will love several of those.

So Jenifer- check out the kilted skirts that Sport Kilts sell. http://www.sportkilt.com/departments....cfm?afid=1003

They're very nice. My wife has one and loves it.

ROCK ON, SISTER!!

I know of at least three of us here who are women in kilts. Personally, I'm rather short, so it possibly looks more like a skirt, and I only wear the sporran, sgian, etc, for band, but I LOVE wearing a kilt!

It doesn't bother me if women wear kilts, or pants or what ever. I just don't like it when women get hateful toward men for being men, and there's a whole lot of that going on. You all aren't being that way, so kilt on with a smile.

Ted...
I guess since you quoted me that you are referring to me, yes?
Nothing in my post or in any of my over 1000 posts implies being hateful toward men...and actually none of the posts I've read in this thread imply anything of the sort.
"ROCK ON" means something akin to "way to go"! All caps imply, in this instance "yes, hooray, I'm with you on that one, girl!" I was agreeing with the "Wear what makes you comfortable" statement. I was excited to see another woman who likes wearing kilts and admits it, especially since lots of folks that we have all encountered frown on the practice...and, as mentioned, I know at least three women on X-Marks who enjoy wearing kilts. A lot of us are not built for the teeny-tiny "mini kilts" (your eyes would bleed in pain if I dressed like that! ) or would not be comfortable wearing such (nuns generally wear lots more clothes than that! ). And, a lot of folks would be uncomfortable in the very long kilt/hostess skirts.
AND, just for the record, I like men very much.
If I took your post out of context, I offer my sincerest apology, but, on the other hand, if I read you correctly, I felt it necessary to offer this reply/explanation.

P.S. I added the part about only wearing sporran and sgian for band because I do try to this in deference to the guys...and, also,this definitely seems like "manly" or soldier wear to me, and I am neither manly or a soldier (though I like both men and soldiers, and have no problem with guys who prefer we don't wear kilts or with women who might wear sporran and sgian...everyone is entitled to their own opinion and comfortability).

In light of the discussion that followed, I see how this might have sparked it. Personally, I don't really care whether women do or don't wear the kilt, but my comment may have suggested that I do. Jennifer wanted neither a mini or hostess skirt, but was looking for something in between, presumably landing at or around the knees. I took that to mean options besides the obvious one - a kilt.

We see that women do indeed have many options when it comes to clothes they can wear (though I'm told they pay for it at the checkout counter). The tartans in the photos I posted are all expressed rather beautifully in a jumper, shirtdress, a-line, tunic, overcoat, and a few other confections I don't know what to call including a knock-out little Jackie-Kennedy-Oleg-Cassini tribute. Yeah, kilts are great. It's fantastic to wear one, but if I had these kind of choices, I'd probably want at least one of everything.

Rex.
