The Skirt
The skirt consists of 2 steel blue linen panels, connected at the sides while leaving the upper ends open on each side. This design enables easy wearing of the skirt.
The panels of this historical skirt feature 18th-century-style pleats. At the front, pleats extend towards the sides, while at the back, they converge in the middle. In the photos, the skirt is worn over a bustle pad, which adds volume to the hips and accentuates the waist's slenderness.
The Shawl:
Measuring 140 cm on each side, it gracefully drapes over your shoulders, adding sophistication. Crafted from high-quality Silver Granite 15oz wool, our shawl offers the genuine tartan look and feel.

Silver Granite Tartan Plaid
Unlike other tartans we offer, the Granite Tartan does not belong to any specific clan or family, making it a suitable option for anyone who falls into this category.
If it's not associated with a clan, what is the origin of the Granite Grey tartan? The Scottish hills and mountains of Royal Deeside are predominantly composed of hard granite rock, which inspired the creation of this tartan to represent the region's landscape. This stunning scenery can be best appreciated on the road from Perth to Inverness.
Whether you are a fan of Scottish tradition and heritage or enjoy wearing tartan in line with current fashion trends, the Granite Tartan comes highly recommended.
How to wear your Historical Costume in Steel Blue Linen & Silver Granite Tartan
To wear your historical costume, please follow these steps:
Skirt:
- Secure the linen skirt by tying the back panel ties and knotting them at the front.
- Adjust the front panel by wrapping it like an apron around the waist, making a double turn.
- In the accompanying photos, the skirt is styled with a bustle pad to add volume to the hips and highlight the waist.
Bodice:
- Put on the jacket.
- Cross the cord through the metal eyelets, starting from the bottom and going to the top.
- Before tightening the drawstring, slide the stomacher behind it and ensure a comfortable, snug fit around the chest.
