Plaid Dresses
Plaid dress
A plaid dress is a garment that has a pattern of small squares, or checks, usually in two colors. The term "plaid" is derived from the Gaelic word "breacan" which means "to fold". The plaid dress was originally worn by Scottish highlanders and became popular in the 18th century. It was worn as a symbol of national pride and to show support for the British monarchy.
