A Lasses Wear Thread

[Squeaky McMurdo]

I've already posted a picture of myself in this thread but wanted to add that I found that this is apparently the "Modern" Ladies' National Dress in Scotland according to scottishpatterns.com.



While I might potentially wear the tartan skirt, sash, and shoes...I'm not particularly fond of that style of vest (don't like the lumpy bottom) and I wouldn't ever wear the extremely poofy sleeves.

I did however come up with a modernized version of this using a ladies' kilt, white short sleeved chemise (shirt), knee length black socks (could be substituted with nylons, but I hate nylons), some dark flashes to add a little pop to the socks, leather ballet flats, and a black corset. I have not yet acquired this outfit, but I used a photo-editor to create it to show my hubby why I needed a corset. This is something I would wear out with my hubby kilted. I think it says Scottish without stepping on any male toes.

Those poofy sleeves are godawful IMHO.....

But your modern variant is goona be fantastic.

I like, althogh I'd forgo the blouse and probably just wear tights. Also the corset is backwards. This is another option, the same seller on etsy sells mermaid hem skirts to go with her corsets too.

I know the corset is backwards, I couldn't find a decent picture of a corset that laces in the front. I bought one on ebay for $15 that I'm going to modify when I can find the time. I'm still nursing a baby so I gotta have a way to get to "the goods". I don't think I like the underbust style.
