A Lasses Wear Thread

[Jock Scot]

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!

Oh crumbs,you have got me at it again!I really do not know what I am talking about,but with that said------here goes!There is no reason, that I am aware of, that says that you ladies cannot wear a balmoral or glengarry and most certainly glengarries are seen being worn by lady members of pipe bands.However, I am sorry to say that,like the kilt etc.these two forms of bonnet are regarded as male attire for no other reason that I can think of than, "its just not done", for a lady to wear them.

Before the barrage of yes buts,no buts,its not fair,to h**l with that, etc.flies accross the ether in my direction, I can only tell you what I have seen in the last 60 something years.Might I also add that you ladies really should realise(you do anyway,don't you?) that you are far too subtle to bother about wanting to wear male attire-----in this case you wear a tam,berret or some such bonnet that is far more stylish than any of the gear us men wear.And quite right too!
