The Long Tartan Skirts Features
Our 18th century Isle of Skye, Mackenzie, and Lindsay tartan petticoats are all made from a beautiful quality polyviscose fabric (vegan friendly). Its medium-heavy weight is ideal for a skirt of this style, as it gives it a gorgeous fall.
The two tartan panels are sewn on the sides and patiently pleated in 18th-century fashion. The total span of these skirts is 3 meters. The length is 95 cm, but you can customize it as you like when you place your order. Ideally, the hem should hit the ankles.
To obtain a full volume, you should wear your 18th-century petticoat over several layers or a bustle pad like the SUZIE.
The Isle Of Skye Long Tartan Skirt
This beautiful Long Tartan Skirt was instigated and registered by Mrs Rosemary Nicolson Samios in 1992, an Australian of Skye descent, now living in Skye. It was selected through a worldwide competition won by Angus MacLeod from Lewis. Angus, a weaver to trade, produced the first commercial quantities in traditional kilt weight in 1993 at Lochcarron Weavers in North Strome, within view of the Cuillin Mountains. The colours of the tartan depict those of the island, often called the Misty Isle.
