At most formal occasions I went to there were blokes in kilts... no-one questions the kilt over there!Ockduspockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472291767747357704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-82226569256383020062015-05-11T09:26:24.550+10:002015-05-11T09:26:24.550+10:00I'm curious, was kilt wearing more a countrysi...I'm curious, was kilt wearing more a countryside thing to do? I only spent a brief time in Edinburgh and didn't see any kilt wearers, except the people in the kilt shops! I got the impression the kilt is largely ceremonial dress, which is why I felt a bit more at ease with culottes. Certainly in Aus, if I saw someone in a kilt I'd probably assume they were on their way to pipe band practice.Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-61955611982315127202015-05-11T09:22:41.219+10:002015-05-11T09:22:41.219+10:00Thanks Sharon,

Even for those not into the JPG fashion (ie my husband) the layout and the styling of the exhibition was very impressive. I'm very keen to go see the British embroidery exhibition that's on now, but I'm terrified I'd get some crazy inspiration!Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-77160896465439212732015-05-11T09:20:01.014+10:002015-05-11T09:20:01.014+10:00...and doing a Mel Gibson aussie/scot accent!

If anyone questions whether this is appropriate for boys, I suggest he start carrying around a really big (toy) sword. That'll get the message across. ;-) Inder-ifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724667602427496583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-50170999766162535812015-05-06T07:55:04.085+10:002015-05-06T07:55:04.085+10:00Just awesome.
