Plaid frocks these days are less lumberjack, more Scottish princess. Be sure to check out Jeffrey Banks’ new book, Tartan: Romancing the Plaid. Photo at right courtesy amazon.com.
There are so many amazing tartan dresses to choose from! But since we will have to delay the gratification of wearing most of these wonderful confections until fall, CC thought she'd provide at least one summer plaid: this Badgley Mischka Platinum Label strapless silk twill dress, available at neimanmarcus.com.

Great dresses for Fall. You made me very into tartan, I'm remembering Scotland with all those different plaids.
Well I think I'll have to invest in it to fall.

Thought you might enjoy this little plaid post. http://apartment34.blogspot.com/2008/06/here-we-go-wandering.html Great blog!
I remember and love that tartan shoot with LindaE
the tartan gowns look the coolest, by far.
I really like the sheer preen dress look!
WOW... I like plaid! Good collection!
i love a highland fling!
Although i like plaid on others, I don't really wear it myself.It probably has something to do with all of those childhood years wearing plaid uniform.However, these dresses are simply stunning... I think I might be changing my mind, lol ... Great post, as always :)
oh i forgot to ask, would you like to link? =]
There is a store called Vintage Vinyl? Crazy. I had no idea. It's awesome you thought of me! Haha.
And yummers. I love plaid.
i'm really addicted to any dress with a pattern right now, its my summer signature right now.
ps:
those dresses are the fiercest of the fierce :)
Oh my goodness! Some of those are absolutely gorgeous. My absolute favourite without a doubtis the Asprey. I really, really, REALLy am in love with it. And I love the cover of the book too, very nice. And I like your blog!
I like it. A few years ago I got a Celine piece in plaid and it just has this comfort feeling. Casual and easy to wear.
love plaid in the summer!
Oh d & g they will never stop making bustier dresses, even in plaid! I like the trend, just obviously not head to toe.
Love the tartan dress; so adorable! I love the Badgley Mischka dress.
I really love the first tartan dress, the bold color pattern adds a sort of playful touch to the dress. Thanks for the comment by the way! ^^
I'm a sucker for plaid. Not more than one plaid at a time, but I do love it.
those dresses make me want more plaid. and to be a lady lumberjack.
had a dress just like the just cavalli in high school :)
digging the idea of a plaid blouse...
Amazing clothes, I love this post. My favorite piece is the studded ankle boots, I am so in love with them!!!!
