The Aboyne vest is a common part of the traditional attire worn by female Highland dancers. It is an integral component of the Aboyne outfit, which typically consists of a tartan skirt, blouse, vest, and occasionally a velvet bodice. The vest, made from matching or coordinating tartan fabric, is worn over the blouse. For a personalized fit, the Aboyne vest can be tailored to the specific measurements of each dancer.
The SOBHD serves as the official governing body for Highland dancing worldwide. They establish rules and standards for competitions and examinations, including guidelines for traditional Highland dance costumes such as the Aboyne outfit. However, the production or sale of these costumes is not typically handled by the SOBHD.
If you are interested in obtaining a custom-made Aboyne vest that fits your measurements, I recommend contacting a local Highland dance costume maker or a specialized retailer that specializes in Highland dance attire. These experts can assist you in finding or creating a bespoke Aboyne vest according to your preferences and measurements.
Our vests are meticulously tailored in accordance with RSOBHD specifications, using the finest 100% cotton velvet fabric. They are adorned with 1/2″ metallic braid trim in silver or gold, accompanied by ten medium buttons that match the trim. The vests are fully lined and interfaced with high-quality haircloth, and they are boned along the front to achieve a crisp and well-tailored look. With a variety of colors available to match different tartans, the vests are finished with a zipper closure.
