..what is the PROPER kilt / dress for a lady? What type of footwear is worn? I have asked a dozen people in my area at the Highland Games and received a dozen answers/opinions.
It all depends on the time period you're aiming for. The "Lass's Wear" thread is your best starting point. In the meantime, here's my Mrs. in her "Highland wear".


Her skirt is a 3-layer skirt, red-black-red. The bodice is suede, laced up with long leather laces, and the white blouse is linen. It's pretty much a long nightgown sort of thing. The tartan she's wearing (ancient Lockhart) is just a big piece of fabric, belted at the waist. It's called an arisaid. And she's wearing her Keen hiking sandals.
