Abstract: Highland dress, the ethnic costume of Scotland, regained its prominence among adult men in late 19 th -century Britain and became popular even among boys and young men.In this paper I attempt to throw light on the background to this popularity, using as my materials especially articles and advertisements that appeared in the women's magazine The Queen.The following became evident through my researches.Following the battle on Culloden Moor in 1746, a ban was placed on the wearing of kilts and on all other customs associated with the Highlanders, as a result of which the kilt became romanticized as a costume associated with a people who had been deprived of their culture.Queen Victoria was particularly attracted to Scotland and to tartan, and she clad princes of the crown in Highland dress, which thus came to acquire an aristocratic connotation.Mothers all over the country thus clothed their sons in Highland dress, thereby contributing to its popularity.Among the factors that ensured that this popularity was subsequently maintained were the sheer attractiveness of the costumes, the aspiration to authenticity that made these costumes appropriate for wearing on ceremonial occasions, the expansion in the range of uses that resulted from the fact that the costumes were based on distinctive ethnic designs that could also be used for fancy dress, and the fact that the costumes sold extensively because of their functionality in line with mothers' concern for the health of their children.キーワード： ハイランド・ドレス、子ども服、クイーン誌 Key Word： Highland Dress, children's clothes, The Queen
