Here's one of my photos from the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games a few years back. This young lady was wearing a full length hostess skirt with a simple white tank top, and in my opinion she looked 300% better than other young women her age with skirts barely past their buttocks!

She does look great!
I want one not for everyday wear but mainly for holidays and special events. But I don't want it too foofy either since I don't want it to come off costumey. There's sort of a fine line between looking like you are proud of your traditional clothing and looking like you are reinacting a period movie. I don't want to look like a period movie. lol.
I think Sydnie's picture from that other thread (the style no. 6) is pretty much exactly what I am looking for Also, the one she posted with the giant bow is pretty amazing.
