Welcome to X Marks the Scot Mrs. jordanjm!
Alan has posted a lot of pretty neat ideas for a ladies outfit. My observation is that the simple black dress with the sash is the best way to go to be striking.
An observation:
The first Scottish Country Dance my lovely wife and I attending was filled with dashing gentlemen in white jacobite shirts and gorgeous tartan kilts. Most of the ladies were wearing tartan skirts or patterned dresses. The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and I were lost in a sea of color. Who was the one person who kept catching our eye? It was a lovely lady in a slim elegant black dress. The simple black made her stand out from the crowd.
So how do you outshine a tartan peacock? Don't compete with him head on with a tartan dress, top, or skirt. Use a single dark color to draw the eye and a small matching tartan accessory to show your clan affiliation.
Cheers
Jamie
