How Do You Wear An Earasaid? How-to for Putting on the Lady's Great Kilt

[@arashikashu5421]

You guys...have my clan tartan. We couldn't get that in SCOTLAND without special ordering it! Okay, yeah, saving now...

[@scarletpanda4224]

Omg thank you, its so hard to find videos of how to wear one. I bought one last year and struggled so hard to figure out how to wear it

[@scarletpanda4224]

although mine came with sewn in pleats

[@ChelleLlewes]

@@scarletpanda4224 That sounds more like a piper's plaid than an earsaid.

So elegant. A glimpse into the past and a feminine look for the present.

Been searching for a video like this for a while! I’ve had an earasaid for 2 years now and always had such a hard time and would struggle figuring out how to put it on and found very little resources online until now, thank you!

[@ConsairtinFergus]

Beautiful. I've been wearing the modern kilt for a while, but wanted to try the big kilt... And involve my gorgeous girlfriend in It. :)

[@WEAlaskaCampbells]

Where do I find the clothes she is wearing underneath the arisaid?

[@SaraCrampton-b3e]

What is the name of the tartan used for the earasaid in this video?

[@catherinebramlett2355]

My question is about the construction of an arisaid. What is correct: Are all 4 sides fringed? If no, does an arisaid require sewn hems on all 4 sides? or should it be just the longer sides have sewn hems and the short ends are fringed? Or no sewing and no fringing? I want to know the most common or traditional way. (I am aware for some it is personal taste of what you prefer.)

[@ChelleLlewes]

Since it much longer than it is wide, the long sides are the selvedges. Fringe on the ends is optional. I don't have fringe on mine. I find it gets in my way. And it's not hemmed at all. Good quality wool won't need it.

Where did you get the dress?

[@autumngalix4616]

What is the difference between the great kilt and this one? Can I use it the same way I would a great kilt (use it for shelter, on long hikes and things?)

[@laurarayburn7138]

These are shorter in length than the men’s great kilts, at least with how they’re sold by USA kilts and because women tend to be smaller, and they traditionally are worn differently and over a dress, as this video shows. It is still an untailored length of cloth, so you should be able to use it the same way. I wear mine as a cross between a kilt and an over skirt, partly because I got a longer one so that I could pleat it.

[@orthochuck66]

I want that exact outfit. How do I purchase that??

So this wasn't pleated first and put on while lying down?

[@ChelleLlewes]

Not for this style. You CAN do it, although an earsaid is usually much shorter than a breachan. I have worn it that way and nobody complained.

[@lauraneumann3861]

air-seach... 😊

[@ChelleLlewes]

Yes, that's how it's pronounced! 😍

[@lauraneumann3861]

​@@ChelleLlewesyes, that's why I commented it. The lady in the video said ''air-sad''.... Scots pronnounce it differently

[@stacygirard647]
