Irish aboyne dress?

I don't think Aboyne dresses are Irish too. Are they? :/ Angie Y. (talk) 23:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly in Northern Ireland only.--86.25.2.224 (talk) 15:07, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Probably both halves of Ireland.Trish pt7 (talk) (talk) 19:14, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Societal effect?

I have not had the time to explore the posit that its introduction was due to a post-WW2 sentiment of women returning to the domestic environment from working in industry, in other words, women should be feminine. This was suggested in one letter.^[1] Q8682 (talk) 03:00, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually a dress?

Is this actually a single-garment dress? Looks like a kilt-skirt worn with a velvet vest over a shirt. [And it's weird that kilt-skirt and kilt skirt are both red links..] — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 01:10, 29 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
