An evening gown is a long, flowing lady's dress usually worn to a formal affair. It ranges in length from tea and ballerina to full-length. Gowns are often made of a luxury fabric such as chiffon, velvet, satin, or silk.

To become best couple a gentleman wearing a formal kilt, a lady wears a white gown with a tartan sash. A less formal variant is a longer kilted skirt with jacket.

The sash or kilted skirt may be the tartan of the woman's own clan if she is entitled to wear one, of her husband's clan, or any of the "district tartans" approved for general wear.
