An arisaid[1][2][3] (Scottish Gaelic: earasaid[4] or arasaid)[4] is a draped garment historically worn in Scotland in the 17th and 18th century (and probably earlier) as part of traditional female Highland dress. It was worn as a dress – a long, feminine version of the masculine belted plaid – or as an unbelted wrap. An earasaid might be brightly coloured[5] or made of lachdann (dun or undyed) wool.[6] Some colours were more expensive than others.[2] The garment might be single-coloured, striped,[6] or tartan[5] – especially of black, blue, and red stripes on white.[1] White-based earasaid tartans influenced later dance and sometimes dress tartans, as well as household-item tartans in a style called "barred blanket" tartan.
