    OK, she's being silly...but....



    Camouflage, from NeoKilt


    tartan from NeoKilt



    also from Neokilt (I think)



    OK, let's say you HATE PLAID....you just absolutely bloody HATE anything plaid, 'cause it makes you look like some dowdy so-and-so and it's boring and it makes everybody look fat and on and on and on.

    OK.

    So get a solid color skirt in a color that's in your man's tartan, and wear that with a simple scoop-neck tshirt. If you get it from Neokilt they'll do some cool embroidery on it for you.





    Are you into embroidery? Well could you not make yourself an X-Kilt, tapered to fit your hips, in a solid color to match your mans tartan and embroider a celtic design along the apron?

    How about something like this


    or this



    on an olive or brown colored X-kilt, worn next to your mans Weathered tartan kilt? There are places that can take any 1-2-3-4-5-6 color artwork available as a .jpg or .gif or .bmp file and put it into their computerized embroidery machines and crank out a custom job for you in a couple of days, if you're not into it, yourself.

    Perhaps a simple, lightweight black pleated kiltskirt with a clan crest patch sewn in where a man would wear a kilt pin on his kilt?

    I must say that is an attractive skirt. I may be biased as it is Cunningham tartan but so be it. Thanks for posting a pic. I rarely see any garments constructed in my family tartan.

    You don't see it often because it puts all other tartan to shame. But I could be biased.

    Okay, I just discovered this great thread, and while going thru it came across this picture & had to ask: where did you find this Alan? These are friends of mine (Jim & Deb) from here in Bellingham!

    If you look at the picture's "properties" you can see its from the Neokilt website.

    Best regards,

    I am now the proud (somewhat) owner of this dress. It's a fully lined silk taffeta. It was a sample we had around the office. It kinda fits, but the model had lower hips than I do. I'm going to tweak the style so that it fits the way it should on me and post a pic when I'm done.

    Wonderful! Can't wait to see it!

    Love all of the other contributions everyone

    I'm too lazy to go back to quote the reply about the Princess of Wales memorial tartan, but I just wanted to say that I LOVE that tartan as well

    Well, I must be nuts to even try to alter it. After all, once that's done I'll have to go shoe shopping just to wear it! And where the heck will I find raspberry or fuchsia coloured shoes?!
