Women's kilts/skirts?

**LadyGriffin** · 3rd January 08, 03:26 PM

I have many kilted skirts from e-bay, and a few from Gretna on Green for when I want to dress it up a bit and go formal.

If you know how to sew a little, you can change a man's kilt to a ladies by reversing the front apron. That will open even MORE options for you.

Job first, then yarn, then maybe a kilt. It may be bought in fabric form though, and may not be tartan or even plaid. My next sewing project will be a skirt, it will have pleats, but I don't think a cream kilt with embroidered flowers made from an old curtain would works so well.

Hey String, have you thought of trying to adapt the great kilt, or belted plaid into a female garment? That might look kind of cool and you might not need as much fabric as a guy kilt would take.

No I would definitely not need as much fabric, that would be really cool too now wouldn't it. Tis one what to walk around wrapped in a blanket that won't get me nearly so many odd looks.

Sorry String, just thinking of some of the... oh i don't know, toga like garments I've seen women wear now and then. You said curtain. I didn't mean anything bad.

And Thanks, fluter, for posting what the name of that is. I probably shouldn't have said anything in the first place.

It's called an earasaid, or possibly arisaid or possibly other spellings.

It can be lots of fun for a couple to wear matching plaids.
