Highland Dancing Outfits



A new blouse
This blouse is based on Ottobre 02/04 #23. Princess seams removed, side seams straightened, used a back zipper instead of buttons, changed front neckline... (I did say it was based on... very loosely once I was done my hack!)




Highland National Outfit (or Aboyne)




Skirt

A FULL pleated skirt with velcro closure, with large hem to allow for growth. No pattern used.



Petticoat
A tiered skirt, with growth pleats and eyelet lower trim. No pattern used


Plaid

A square (or rectangle) of fabric with fringed edges... this is approximately 36x39" to sett




Blouse

03/03 #35, with added width to body and sleeve(this is to be fairly full), lowered front neckline and shortened sleeves




Vest

Another Ottobre HACK, based on Ottobre 01/08 #36 (Juliet Vest). Front Opening removed, CB zipper added, petals added, fully lined, No darts, removed back princess seams. And I have no clue if I followed the instructions, as I didn't even open the issue.







Have I mentioned recently on how I love the versatility of Ottobre for changing their patterns? It is wonderful!!! I love my Ottobre collection!

This brings back memories. I did Highland Dancing for 13 years and my Mum made all my costumes as well. You've done a lovely job and your daughter looks as pleased as punch.
