Jock Scot, thank you for your reply. Not fair that you gents get to swish & we females don't. I swish soooo much better than my husband. But he's practicing. What I'm thinking about wearing (since I must forgo the fly plaid) a long black skirt, white gauze elastic neckline top with a black fitted vest (not the correct word but looks similar and is worn by Scottish women) with a tartan sash. Is it appropriate for females to wear the Balmoral beret? I wear one extremely well. I appreciate any and all advice. Peace!
