Aboyne dress

Have you ever seen traditional Scottish dancers wearing really pretty outfits with lots of colors and stripes? The dress that the girl dancers wear is called an Aboyne dress.

The Aboyne dress is made up of a few different parts. The first part is a skirt that is usually made of a tartan pattern, which is a special kind of fabric with stripes and squares of different colors. It can also be made of a solid color or have a small pattern.

The second part is a bodice, which is like a fancy vest. It is usually made of velvet and will have lots of decorations on it, like ribbons or lace. The bodice is laced up like a corset to make it fit the dancer really well.

The third part is a blouse which is made of white cotton or linen like material and goes under the bodice. The blouse usually has puffy sleeves and a lace collar, which makes it look really pretty.

The last part is the accessories. The dancer will wear a special kind of socks called hose, which are usually white, and will tie them with ribbons. They also wear special dance shoes that have soft soles, which makes it easier to dance. They will wear a little hat called a tam, which is like a beret, but it is usually decorated with ribbons and feathers.

The Aboyne dress is worn for a special kind of Scottish dance called the Aboyne dance, which is performed by young girls at Highland Games. The dress is meant to make the dancers look really pretty and show off their Scottish heritage.
