From the original garment
- Long pleated-skirt vocabulary and simple separate sash sewing.
Proposed changes
- Replace wrap-front bodice with plain rounded-neck forest-green bodice ending at natural waist.
- Replace bell sleeves with fitted-with-ease three-quarter sleeves.
- Use visibly pleated tartan skirt and narrower one-shoulder sash, leaving neckline and waist structure readable.
Factory checks: fabric & pattern
Approve rounded-neck bodice pattern, sleeve recut and skirt waistband/pleats. Source a stable light-to-medium woven check and test alignment, drape, weight and non-slip sash attachment. Tartan pleated skirt and narrow sash are modern stage choices, not a reconstructed arisaid or authenticated clan dress. No kilt-tailoring capability assumed.
Changed patterns, fabrics, trims and a movement-tested sample require workshop approval before production.
