I'll throw in my two cents........there are a few dresses worn by both northern & southern style dancers (today) that have the same cut....for example wing dresses, a lot of them have the same cut, variations on the sleeve lengths, material & such. What makes them different is that they're addorned with tribal designs etc., making it unique to a certain tribe.
I've also seen a lot of people from various areas where there people didn't originally powwow & they've taken on other styles from the north & south. I've been to powwows in the south west were i've seen a lot of navajo women & men dressing both northern (sioux style) or southern (OK style). Just to give a few examples.........hope i've helped a little with your question.
