Outfit for posh burns event

I want to buy something nice to wear, but not too expensive...hopefully with a small hint of tartan. Can anyone make any suggestions :-)

Male or female?

Roughly what sort of age group are you scottishf?

Any preferences as to what you like to wear, colours, arms covered etc????

Approx budget?

maybe a long sleeved knitted dress, with a tartan corsage ?

These corsages are really lovely, they also have little clasped bags that match?

Sorry for all the questions....is it a black tie do?

OK no tartan here but you could add an accessory... and a nice pashmina as it will be cold! HTH.

I think if you are largish then I would wear a black dress (long if it's that sort of do) with a bright or tatrtan pashmina/sash and then pin it with a large brooch or one of those gorgeous corsages (although if you're handy with a needle you could make one yourself). Traditionally ladies would dress like this so this would be a modern take on it.
