The Tartan

The Isle of Skye is not a clan tartan but instead represents a district.

The tartan is made up of purple, brown, and green with a light grey stripe. It is meant to represent the beautiful misty scenery of the Isle of Skye, with each colour representing a different element of the Isle. The purple represents flowering heather, and the green is a tribute to the lochs and surrounding sea. The brown represents the earth, hills, and mountains, most notably the Cuillin Mountain Range. 

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!
