Native American Woman Tan Leather Dress I Wedding Dress PWD316

The Native American Woman's Wedding Dress is a handcrafted tan leather ceremonial dress featuring geometric beaded shoulder straps, a deep V-fringe chest yoke, and long side fringe. Its intricate details suit traditional Indigenous wedding ceremonies.

Material Detail

The dress is made from natural tanned leather with a smooth, supple texture. Glass beads in size 11/0 cover the shoulder straps using nylon thread. Matching tan leather fringe extends along the chest yoke, 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 precision-attached shoulder panels and side fringe strips. Decorative geometric beadwork is applied by hand, while all fringe is cut directly from the same hide panels.

Visual & Design Detail

The tan dress features a straight, full-length silhouette with a boat neckline and intricate light blue, orange, and brown geometric beaded shoulder panels. Layered V-shaped fringe drapes across the chest with a central dark tassel accent, while continuous fringe runs down the sides and lower hem.
