Native American Woman White Leather Dress I Wedding Dress PWD1066

The Native American Woman's Wedding Dress is a handcrafted white leather ceremonial dress featuring a broad cape overlay, turquoise glass bead accents along the chest fringe, and sweeping sleeve fringe. Its elegant layered 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 vibrant turquoise adorn the cape's fringed edge using durable nylon thread. Matching white leather fringe extends along the shoulder cape overlay, wide cape sleeves, and floor-length skirt hem.

Construction Method

Each wedding dress is hand-stitched by Indigenous artisans with no machine embroidery. The design features a fitted full-length skirt paired with a draped, round poncho-style cape overlay. Turquoise bead accents are attached by hand along the fringe strands, while all fringe is cut directly from the same hide panels.

Visual & Design Detail

The white leather dress features a straight, full-length silhouette topped with a round cape overlay that flows into dense chest and arm fringe. A delicate V-pattern of turquoise glass beads traces across the front cape fringe, leading down to vertical beaded hanging tassels at the waist and a heavily fringed bottom hem.
