What looks fab on the ladies of this forum?
You know that what looks fab on others may not be flattering to you. Just think of a style that you like and looks good on you and imagine it in tartan!
I love my kilt. I made it according to The Art of Kiltmaking (thanks Barb!). I personally like a kilt at top of knee length. The swing is fantastic and the swish as I walk is so satisfying. If you were to make a kilt, I would suggest forgoing the rise above the waist and fit it directly to your waist.
I do love the idea of a tailored tartan skirt with walking pleats. There's some very nice patterns that are particularly suited to tartans:

There are lots of ways to use tartan. You are only limited by your imagination!
