Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Angela Lansbury in tartan blouse and Gordon Tartan headscarf. Dress 324. photo by Trevor Sharot. I was looking for tartans to wear when I gave a talk on Scotland, Scots language, Scottish people. I found a blouse but was not sure I could identify the tartan. Then I found a scarf. The label clearly identified it as Gordon tartan. If you buy a kilt, it comes with a white blouse with a jabot (centre front frill in white descending at the neck). Long white socks contrast with heavy black shoes. A decorative sporran.  (A sporran is a fur pouch hanging down on a string from the waist as a purse).
