Custom Kilts & Highland Dancewear
Crafted with Tradition. Tailored for Performance.
Stag Stitches creates Kilt and Highland Dancing Outfits. Led by Fiona Kraiger - with over 50 years' experience in Highland dancing competition, teaching, and pipe bands, Stag Stitches brings a wealth of experience in creating the perfect outfit for Highland Dancers or Pipe Band members.
From competition stages to pipe band parades, we create, adjust, and alter kilts and Highland dancing outfits that honor tradition while delivering comfort, precision, and confidence.
Highland Dancing Outfits
We specialise in both making and altering Highland dancing outfits, ensuring every garment fits correctly and meets competition standards while allowing dancers to move freely and confidently.
Every piece is made with the realities of competition in mind: correct length and line, secure fastenings, tidy finishing, and the freedom to move. Whether you need a full outfit made from scratch or an existing garment brought up to standard, we’ll help you feel comfortable, confident, and stage-ready. We can also assist with repairs, resizing, and growth alterations - so your outfit continues to fit beautifully as seasons, levels, and bodies change.
Highland Dance Kilts
Made-to-measure dancer’s kilts in your chosen clan, family, or district tartan, cut to sit cleanly and finish at the top of the knee for a crisp competition line. Built for “dancer’s swing” with secure straps/buckles and room for expert alterations as your fit (or stage) changes.
Jig Reversible Skirts & Cummerbunds
Performance-ready Irish Jig skirts and cummerbunds, tailored for a clean waistline and confident fit. Reversible designs give you two looks in one, finished to stay secure and polished through every step.
Navy Sailor's Hornpipe Suits
Made and altered for a sharp, regulation look: the classic sailor styling in navy or white, including the signature collar and bell-bottom trousers, tailored for movement and neat lines on stage. (RSOBHD only)
Aboyne Skirts & Plaids
Custom-fit Aboyne skirt & plaid for National dances (e.g., Flora and Lilt): a tartan skirt with matching plaid, finished to sit correctly on the shoulder and secured neatly at the waist for confident, traditional presentation. Expert alterations available to keep the set looking competition-ready as you grow or refine sizing.
Kilties
A lighter, beginner-friendly option - perfect for younger dancers, exams, classes, and early competitions. Made to be comfortable, affordable, and easy to alter as dancers grow, while still giving a tidy Highland silhouette.
What Highland Dancers Say
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
Pipe Band Kilts
We make and alter pipe band kilts with a focus on uniformity, comfort, and durability. Whether adjusting an existing kilt or creating new ones for solo performers or full bands, each piece is finished to a high professional standard.
A great pipe band kilt has to do two things: look uniform from the first row to the last, and stay comfortable through long parades and performances. We measure carefully, match pleating and set, and finish each kilt to hold its shape - so the band presents as one.
Need a full set for a new season, or alterations to bring older kilts back into line? We can standardise length, waist, straps, and hang so your kit looks sharp and consistent across the whole band.
