MacKenzie Tartan Plaid
The Mackenzie Tartan holds historical significance as the regimental tartan of the Seaforth Highlanders. It was initially established in 1778 by Mackenzie, Earl of Seaforth.
The modern Mackenzie tartan, as we know it today, evolved from the military tartan of Mackenzie Lord MacLeod's 73rd Highland Regiment (later adopted by the Seaforth Highlanders). This design drew inspiration from an early version of the Black Watch tartan, first developed around 1729, with the addition of black, white, and red lines.
How to put on your Plaid Skirt in MacKenzie Tartan
To secure the plaid skirt, please follow these steps:
- Begin by tying the back panel ties and knot them at the front.
- Adjust the front panel by wrapping it around the waist like an apron, making a double turn.
- In the photos, the petticoat is styled with a bustle pad, which adds volume to the hips and highlights the waist.
