But like any number of specialized clothing types, there is a lot of technical undercover stuff that you wouldn't know about unless you did that sort of thing, regularly. That looks like a fun, if demanding project. It really was, my biggest problem I was working with a deadline, and barely made it under the wire. I liked it so much I am planning on making my son-in-law a kilt as soon as he settles on a tartan. If I had any nieces or other relatives, who were into the highland fling "thing", I would like to take a shot at doing one of them, but sadly all of those younger relatives are layabouts, and not interested. Ah, but you don't need a youngster involved with competitive Highland dance!! I bet if you tried you could locate a Highland Games in your area, and wear one yourself. You don't have to have Scots heritage to wear a kilt! I wonder if the same sort of thing pertains to Irish dance costumes. That would be closer to my own heritage, than the kilt. But from outward appearances, the costumes do differ. The Irish tend to be flared out, and not pleated. John Irish dance costumes are, err, ummm, "gaudy", I guess would be the kindest way to put it: http://images.google.com/images?hl=e...ed=0CDIQsAQwBQ I cannot tell you how happy I am that DGD took up Highland dance instead of Irish dance! -- Beverly http://ickes.us/default.aspx |
