Thanks Jess, and Monica, the tartan flashes are accentuated as I move so I could wear it on any night out, but at a Burns supper or ceilidh it would definitely fit right in. I think it would work well with proper doc martin type boots, and obviously I do not naturally fill the bust panel, but it is nice to get back to looking more like me! Am back to drab now but had a lovely day even though I did not go anywhere!
