Cloth Dress
These dresses are made like the traditional trade dress in styling. The side gussets are longer than the rest of the hem by at least 2 inches. The under arms are open. They are NOT sewn. The material used to make these dresses is heavyweight. I use wool, velveteen, or woven cotton. The dresses are lined with felt or flannel to hold the shape. I am using a trade cloth dress pattern to make these dresses. Traditional trade cloth dresses were made from Trade cloth. Trade cloth was a light weight wool material that was used in blankets. And, as the name implies, it was used for trade. These dresses are made in the traditional way according to the pattern. Please be sure the measurements will fit you and the styling is what you want before ordering. If you have ANY questions, Please email before ordering. This dress is made from cotton velveteen. Dentalium shells are Sewn around the collar about 4 inches wide. This is a traditional Crow or Lakota Style. This is a size 48 (actual chest measurement of 48") with length of 45" from shoulder down to hem. This should be worn with a belt. The underarm seam is not sewn.
