Native American Woman Leather Dress I Wedding Dress PWD1024

The Native American Woman's Wedding Dress is a handcrafted white leather ceremonial dress featuring intricate teal and black beaded floral bands, a matching waist belt, and sweeping cape sleeve fringe. Its detailed beadwork and multi-tiered silhouette suit traditional Indigenous wedding ceremonies.

Material Detail

The dress is made from natural tanned white leather with a smooth, soft texture. Size 11/0 glass beads in teal, navy, and white create the shoulder strips, V-yoke framing, and belt motifs using durable nylon thread. Matching white leather fringe extends along the V-chest yoke, wide wing sleeves, tiered skirt panels, and lower hem.

Construction Method

Each wedding dress is hand-stitched by Indigenous artisans with no machine embroidery. The classic two-hide construction features expansive wing sleeves, a structured beaded waist belt, and hand-applied beadwork panels. All fringe sections are cut directly from the same hide panels.

Visual & Design Detail

The white leather dress features a full-length silhouette with a boat neckline and broad cape sleeves draped in sweeping fringe. Beaded geometric and feather strips line the upper shoulders and waist belt, framing a central V-shaped fringe chest yoke that cascades down to a double-tiered fringed skirt.
