Native American Woman Black Leather Dress I Wedding Dress PWD230

The Native American Woman's Wedding Dress is a handcrafted black leather ceremonial dress featuring a white chest tassel, glass bead accents, and dramatic sleeve and hem fringe. Its bold silhouette suits traditional Indigenous wedding ceremonies.

Material Detail

The dress is made from black cowhide leather with a smooth, supple texture. Size 11/0 glass beads decorate the V-chest fringe strands and lower hanging ties using nylon thread. Matching black leather fringe extends along the deep V-yoke, cape sleeves, outer side seams, and floor-length hem.

Construction Method

Each wedding dress is hand-stitched by Indigenous artisans with no machine embroidery. The classic two-hide construction features broad batwing sleeves and hand-placed beadwork accents. The contrasting white tassel centerpiece is secured by hand, while all fringe is cut directly from the same hide panels.

Visual & Design Detail

The black leather dress features a full-length silhouette with a deep V-neckline and broad draped sleeves. A long, bright white hair tassel centers a fringed chest V-yoke lined with turquoise and red glass bead details, framed by sweeping sleeve fringe and a densely fringed lower skirt.
