Rose White Dress tartan
Dress tartan of Clan Rose.
The Register says the name 'White Dress' comes from the Rose Society US website, but that it does not appear to have general acceptance as a Dress Rose. It suggests the sample dates from between 1930 and 1950.

Get the kilt
When you order a kilt, ask for the tartan by its full name — for example “Rose White Dress” — and say which colourway you want. “Modern” is dark and strong, “ancient” is lighter, “weathered” is muted. The sett is the same in each.
