Native American Woman White Leather Dress I Wedding Dress PWD1049

The Native American Woman's Wedding Dress is a handcrafted white leather ceremonial dress featuring long dark hair chest tassels, red glass bead accents, and floor-sweeping sleeve fringe. Its detailed silhouette suits 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 red and black line the V-chest yoke and lower hanging tassels using durable nylon thread. Matching white leather fringe extends along the V-chest yoke, sweeping cape sleeves, tiered skirt panel, and lower hem.

Construction Method

Each wedding dress is hand-stitched by Indigenous artisans with no machine embroidery. The classic two-hide construction features dramatic wing sleeves and hand-applied hair tassels along the chest V-yoke. Glass bead accents are threaded by hand, while all fringe is cut directly from the same hide panels.

Visual & Design Detail

The white leather dress features a straight, full-length silhouette with a boat neckline and wide cape sleeves draped in cascading side fringe. A V-shaped fringe chest yoke is framed by dark hair tassels and red glass beads, balanced by vertical beaded ties along a multi-tiered fringed skirt.
