About Late Style Dresses of the Western Plains: Western dresses had the same basic cut in the late period (1840-1900+) as the earlier pre-1840 dresses. Except the Kiowa/Cheyenne/Arapaho dress above, the differences were added fringe and how the dresses were sewn. Late style dresses were sewn inside-out with small running or whip stitches down both sides and across the skirt/yoke seams, and a few more dangles were added to front and back. Being ever frugal, as native women tend to be, they tailored side panels a bit more, and used the trimmed off pieces for panels of longer fringe. Some were cut into about 8" long (20cm) fringe, and sewn on side-by-side around the edge of the yoke. Others were cut into about 4" long (10cm) fringe panels, and added in the seams between front and back skirt panels. Bottoms are cut all around into about 3" (7.5cm) fringe. The predominant color for work and basic clothing of all nations was "smoke". The Blackfeet, though, frequently smoked their clothing more heavily. The Crow treated their ceremonial clothing after a light smoking until it was nearly white again. |

Principle Native American Nations: Fully hand sewn with authentic stitches much smaller than typically used on buckskin clothing today. |
| Note: Sample buckskin colors may vary slightly depending on your browser. But then, colors vary slightly anyway between batches of buckskin during the smoking or dyeing processes. | |||||
