Who designed Ghillie shoes

Yes, all of this can be incorperated into the drama of the musical.

The tightening of corsets; the inventing of traditions; the weaving of laces... all in choreographed dance and song!

I think you're on to something, Ted.

The corset factory scene would most certainly make a great second act opening number, just when things started to unravel at the end of the first.

Oh good grief - I can visualise it so clearly, the curtain goes up, then the doors opening and the women streaming out onto the stage, just like the scene in Carmen outside the tobacco factory.

There! I have always maintained that those wretched items of footwear were not 'traditional' - but I did not know the history of the laces! Many thanks for the detailed information.

Take care,
Ham.

And there again!!!! Hamish has spoken!!!!
I DID not want to have to buy the a pair of those evil things anyway.

Keep in mind gentlemen, that a magazine article is not proof of any sort!
Some say elements of the film 'Braveheart' are historically accurate, or the like.
There are no links to anything (if anything), Therefore (though I am not saying it) it is possible that MacMillan could make it up himself, but I highly doubt that.
The article shows (though not very well) that this man made the shoes, but not that he invented them.
Neither in the post nor in the article are there citations.
I remain skeptical.
More research must be done on my part for me to say otherwise.

Exelent, Pleater. Oh the drama of symbolism!

Is it true, Pleater, what they say about corsets...?

Don't worry, Bloke, we're writing a part into the musical for the discussion you had over in the kilt rental thread.
