I like the shape of the red herring ones, not sure anout the tartan or the belt (the belt on the red and grey one is horrid, but the shape of the skirt is perfect).

Looking at that list, it seems the shape I'm after is a 'mini kilt'

I think so - how about this one ?

JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump · 19/10/2006 10:34
