Cunningham kilt--big pics

[cacunn]

In looking over all the comments concerning the possible item that could be made from the remaining fabric (About 2 1/2 yards, 58" wide) left from making the Cunningham kilts, I note--trews, fly plaids, flashes, sash, doublet, waist coat with scoop neck and with standard 6 button,and scarf. Not being well grounded in the various parts of Scottish dress other than the kilt, where would I find definitions or discriptions of the above, and directions on how to make them, or patterns for the same. emyclaire

Trews - simplistically pants cut on the bias The Tartan museum has a pattern - http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/patterns.htm

Fly Plaid - basically a square of cloth with a fringe - I may be wrong but I think it is normally 58 inches square. It can have a straight fringe, twisted fringe or a braided fringe.

Waist coat - five or six button vest with the front sides below the button curved away so it doesn't interfere with the sporran - belt not worn.

Doublet - fancy jacket - I don't think you have enough material.

When you got to the Tartan Museum site they should have picture of all these items.
