DGD danced in only her second Highland dance competition as a "Novice" this AM, and was awarded a first place in two of her dances, and second place in one, and was the winner of the Novice Aggregate Award.
This is definitely keeping me motivated to finish the "practice" kilt, so I can start on her "real" competition one. I have completed 23 of the 27 pleats, and I'm awaiting inspection by a kilt expert before I proceed to the interlining and lining.
Her dance instructor is traveling to Scotland in August and is going to buy us a length of Dress Purple MacRae tartan for the real kilt. It's a gorgeous tartan,
