You may want to rephrase your question. Most folks on here would have a problem with you referring to a "costume." The appropriate term would be regalia. -

Are you going to make it all yourself? Have you made an outfit before?
Crazy Crow is a good place to start. They supply everything needed to construct a men's fancy dance outfit. There are many other places that specialize in particular pieces of the outfit as well.Powwows will continue to evolve in many directions. It is inevitable.Comment

Some outfits have been handed down from a family member. Others have been value beyond dollars because of personal reasons. Others like mine, have been specifically made for the dancer.
What would you do if a collector, museum or powwow dancer offered to buy your outfit?
