I wear my beaded basket hat, otter skins, braidties, earrings, long breast-plate, antique tradebead necklace, wampum bracelet when I remember, my belt, sotello set, fan, shawl, large bag to carry, leggings and moccasins. I often forget something all the time, if I get too hot to wear my deerhide dress, I just wear all the above items with my cloth dress. Both dresses incorporate colors that easily blend with each other, so all my accesories match both dresses. I thought this was a good thread you started Riverwoman; sometimes people that may be new to buckskin dancing may need this kind of information to get started. Besides my hat; all the other items are pretty typical for Northern dancing.
