American Dream Wool Kilted Skirt

Details

Made in the gorgeous American Dream tartan, this is the traditional tartan garment for ladies. The style is timeless -- ideal for formal occasions or any time you wish to show off your heritage and pride with elegance.

As we approach America’s Semiquincentennial anniversary, we reflect on what makes this nation good. Over the last 250 years, why have so many people come to THIS place in search of a better life?

Since our founding in 1776, America has held out a promise to the world… an ideal we are guided by to this day: The American Dream. These simple words encapsulate a concept rooted in optimism…and hope. The idea that no matter your ethnicity, your race, your religion, there’s a place dedicated to allowing you to work for a better life. A place where your talents and your determination can shape your future. That no one has the right to put up roadblocks to stop you. Self-determination. Personal freedom. Hope. That is the “lamp beside the golden door” that attracted our immigrant ancestors to America and continues to attract people from all over the world.

We wanted to design a tartan to celebrate THAT America. For our new American Dream tartan, we started with 76 blue threads to memorialize 1776. Then we added 13 red stripes - one for each original colony. And finally, in the center of the blue field, you’ll see a gold stripe. Our nod to the 'golden door' watched over by Lady Liberty. All together, we feel we’ve created a rich and beautiful design. A tartan any proud American can enjoy.

Measuring Instructions

Waist (A or B)

First, determine where you would like the top of the kilted skirt to sit. It can be worn either at the "high waist" (around your naval... "A" in the diagram above) or "low waist" (where you wear your jeans... "B" in the diagram above). If you want to wear it at the "high waist", measure around your belly button. If you want to wear it at your "low waist" (at the height you wear your jeans), measure at that level. Please pick one or the other. That will be where the top of your kilted skirt will sit.

Hips

This measurement is taken around the very widest part of your rear end. This measurement should be taken a bit loosely.

Thighs

Standing with feet about 8" to 10" apart, measure around the widest area of your thighs. Measure around both thighs, not individually.

Length

This is measured down the side of your body from the top of where the kilt will sit (i.e. at the height where you measured your waist) straight down to about mid calf. The preferred length is VERY subjective and can be anywhere from 2 or 3 inches below the knee to almost ankle length.
