Need advice: Shirt? or Overlay/Cape?

Wakalapi · 02-28-2004, 02:36 AM

Can't decide which way to go with upper portion of outfit.
- Shirt with ribbons/yarns sewn directly
- Overlay with ribbons/yarns, put on seperately from shirt
- or something different entirely

What'ya have, and why'd ya go with that?

Over lay cape is long been out of style. yarn on shirt is always good and more neater

Well, dang.

This thread should have come up last year :p

I don't know too much about making a grass dance outfit, but I did my first one last powwow season for a young boy. And I made it by looking at pictures. I did his shirt with the fringe sewn right on the shirt, turned out nice. And I did gather that the overlay/cape/yoke style was out of style last year as I didn't see many in them pictures.

Thank y'all for confirming my gut feeling. Shirt also seems like it'd be less hot (one less layer of clothing in the hot sun).
