OUTLANDER Earasaid Authentic Premium Wool Tartan
Fashion yourself after Claire in Outlander with this authentic premium wool tartan earasaid (or arasaid). The earasaid is a traditional Scottish dress and would be the ladies’ version of the great kilt. Choose between three licensed tartans woven in Scotland by the same mill that produced the tartans in Outlander: The Series.
Traditionally worn over an underdress, the earasaid can be worn short or floor length. It complements your favorite historical outfit perfectly! Because of its versatility, we recommend pleating it each time with our included pleating instructions. However, you can also choose to get “cheater pleats” added
Method #1:
Wear the earasaid from knee to mid-calf length (maximum of about 27″ long). You should be able to bring fabric over one shoulder or both, and brooch it in front. You should have plenty of pleats, and enough fabric meet in the front, or overlap a bit if you want it to. A 2.5 yard earasaid will fit up to about a 34 inch waist, a 3 yard earasaid will fit up to about a 40 inch waist, and a 4 yard earasaid will fit 40+ inch waist sizes.
Method #2:
The earasaid will be worn floor length. You should be able to bring fabric up over your head if you want to, and brooch it like a hooded cloak. Worn this way you’ll be limited by the width of the fabric. You can make your earasaid fit almost any waist size, but you’ll have only a few pleats, and just enough fabric meet in the front (maybe). This method works best with a 2.5 yd earasaid. You can make it work a 3 or (maybe) 4 yard earasaid, but you end up with too much fabric to deal with above your head and shoulders.
Pleating instructions are included with each earasaid (Earasaid Instructions.PDF). Because it’s so versatile, we would encourage you to pleat it yourself each time you wear it. That way you can change the length and style or number of pleats any time you want to. However, we can pleat it for you and stitch everything into place. This makes it very easy to wear, but you’ll need to decide on a length and stick with it. If you’re interested, please give us a call to add cheater pleats to your earasaid. Please allow an extra 2-3 weeks for delivery with this option.
