Following the Commonwealth Games and the Scottish Independence Referendum, Scotland is more prominent in people's minds than ever. One of the most famous things to come out of Scotland is the tartan pattern. This patterned Dressmaking Fabric is becoming increasingly popular for making many fashionable clothing items- not just kilts!
Emma Stone and Dakota Fanning are fans of the tartan shirt. These can be worn as a smart shirt or as a casual cover-up. We carry sell a similar tartan fabric to Dakota Fanning's shirt for £5.99 per metre.

Tartan trousers are statement pieces for singers Taylor Swift and Rita Ora. These are comfortable and usually loose fitting. To get Rita Ora's look, I recommend using our large royal stewart tartan, which can be found in the Dressmaking Fabrics section of our website.

Jessica Alba and Victoria Beckham wear the girly tartan skirt, with Beckham wearing hers on the way to the airport in LA. This look can be replicated using menzie tartan and this gorgeous fabric also looks wonderful when used for a knee-grazing pencil skirt, suitable for a more formal occasion.

Finally, this tartan leather jacket worn by Gwen Stefani can be made using a combination of our Dressmaking Fabrics. We stock a similar Tartan to Gwen Stefani's, named blackwatch tartan. I would also recommend the use of our black leather look material and bottle dress lining to line your finished jacket.
