The Tartan

The Black Watch tartan has a long and storied past. The tartan is associated with the Black Watch, a historic Scottish military regiment formed in the early 18th century. The Black Watch tartan, featuring a dark base with green and navy blue stripes, has become iconic and is widely recognised as a symbol of Scottish heritage.

The Dress

This is a beautiful tartan wrap dress handmade in the Highlands of Scotland. It features gathers reminiscent of the old traditional Filibeg Highland dress and neat pleats to gather and add shape at the back. Given its wrap and long tie fastening, it flatters and fits a variety of body sizes and shapes and can be worn to suit the occasion.

The Material

100% lightweight wool from Loch Carron.

The Model

The model in pictures is 5″6 (169cm) and a size 10/12

Additional Information

As each dress is made to order, I am more than happy to take requests for the tartan; please contact me. There is a wee bit of flexibility for length, etc., but I am limited by the size of the cloth! It is 100% wool, so while the dress likes a good press, please only dry clean this garment!
