I appreciate everybody's opinions and views. Last night I kind of cooled off about the whole thing and today is a new day (she's not in the office yet.)

On a good note, I got my book by Barb T. last night and plan to make a wool saffron colored kilt (if I can find the material.) Following the book, it should be considered "traditional," as it will be hand sewn, 8 yards long and wool.

Call it a dress then woman!
