Native American Woman Tan Leather Dress I Wedding Dress PWD311

The Native American Woman's Wedding Dress is a handcrafted tan leather ceremonial dress featuring a circular beaded chest medallion, long cascading arm fringe, and layered chest V-fringe. Its intricate design suits traditional Indigenous wedding ceremonies.

Material Detail

The dress is made from natural tanned leather with a smooth, flexible texture. Glass beads in size 11/0 create the circular medicine wheel medallion using nylon thread. Matching leather fringe extends along the V-chest yoke, dramatic sleeve wings, side seams, and lower hem.

Construction Method

Each wedding dress is hand-stitched by Indigenous artisans with no machine embroidery. The classic two-hide construction features sweeping batwing sleeves and hand-applied beadwork on the center bodice. All fringe is cut directly from the same hide panels.

Visual & Design Detail

The tan dress features a full-length silhouette with a V-neckline and broad cape-like sleeves. A circular beaded medallion in red, white, blue, and black adorns the center chest, highlighted by a deep fringed yoke, dangling feather accents, sweeping floor-length sleeve fringe, and a fringed skirt hem.
