The Best Southern Buckskin Dressmakers?
I know lots of ladies don't bead for just anybody. There pretty protective of there designs. I just seen a new dress that Cara Purdy made, and it's beautiful. Very different, I wish I could wear one, but I'm the wrong tribe:( . One of these dayz Ill get a northern style gear going.:p So who makes the coolest dresses?

The best southern buckskin dressmaker in my opinion is Vanessa Paukeigope Jennings from Red Stone, Oklahoma.... She's just a straight up bad-a$$ beadworker and clothing maker.
On a side note, at this past year's NDN market in Santa Fe, Vanessa won her division in the clothing contest. She was wearing this coooooool dress - made out of white tradecloth, but cut like a Kiowa buckskin dress, with the tabs and all. The selvage of the cloth was at the point of each tab, the bottom edges of the sleeves and skirt. Then she added the fringe on the sleeves, killer beadwork..... just freaking awsome.Functionless art is simply tolerated vandalism.Comment

ITA!! I have several dresses (including a cowrie shell buckskin) that Vanessa made. She's great, and her dresses are pretty classy if I say so myself. :)Originally posted by Str8Dancer49

I have to give some credit to Carrie Horse, who made my other two buckskin dresses. I like them a lot too, they're a little more contemporary, but still not over the edge or anything, and she's made well over 60 dresses for people so far. She can't be too bad if that many people trust her. *hehehe*Comment

Well...i know of a certain family that is making mine...they told me it was done a couple of weeks ago..and now they said it isn't yesterday...and they had an attitude just cause i told them that thye said it wasdone and now it's not....i tried telling them if you don't want to do it...i am sure i can finish it on my own...bbut they acted like i don't bead and told me that my mom had told them i don't do my beadwork...which is bs..becuase my mom knows i do all my own stuff. And i even gave this certain lady some pices i made..and some loomwork pieces to put on it. SO this is just ticking me off!!!

How do you store your buckskin dress? I've heard some people wrap them in sheets and fold them, and others hang them up. I just had one made for my daughter and need some advice before I do something I may regret.01-24-2004, 02:38 PM -
Hi. I am hoping someone out there can help me. I am looking for a pattern for an apache buckskin dress or someone who knows how to make one. I think I could make one if I had the right instructions but if the price was right, I wouldn't mind buying one already made. I would do all the beadwork....11-24-2002, 10:08 PM
