Well, that's what I did for my first jingle dress. I used 365 cones and took a year to make it and to prepare myself to wear it. I had been dancing fancy shawl before. That's the way that everyone in my family did it as well. Now with my dresses I use at LEAST 365 depending on the design of the dress. I was taught that since it is a medicine dress, just as our ceremonies - making a pledge to do something sacred you prepare yourself for a year. Hope this helps. ;)
