The shirt and skirt style i have, the shirt does not have ruffels except at teh cuff, it's a plain rolled collar with a small tie in front, with ribbon work on the front and back with the peaks, being that i hardly sew my cousin sews my outfits for me, i can change an engine but sewing is not me,... anyway
we talk and she makes my dress, i'll bring her my material and ideas, she is Osage, married my cousin.
And i did not grow up pwing, i grew up in GA. never been to a pw till i was 20. And i'm enrolled in the eastern band in Cherokee, NC where i now reside.

Like i said before, we use the basic pattern for tear dresses and adjust from there, long sleeves, mid sleeves, all long skirts adn ruffled.
If you want some pictures i can send some to you

Yeah, I feel ya. I am trying my best to do all my sewing, but it's really hard for me...so I always end up getting stuck and getting someone to help me out. Mom didn't teach me growing up.

I would really appreciate some pictures. rvnmad@hotmail.com. I'll post a pic of mine when I get it done.

Thanks

I have seen solid color tear dresss to. Also prints that are not exactly calico (don't know how to discribe them) What kind of cloth/print is acceptable for a tear dress? By the way Waleli beautiful pictures thanks for posting.

I was always told you may use ANY material you want for your dress - calicos, solids, prints...
I saw a tear dress made from an all-over USA flag print material , I think she was a Miss Indian USA or someone who had that one. Been several years ago.
THANKS for the compliments on my mom's dresses (pics in gallery)! WA-DO,
Marie
