Ok ladies, some one once mentioned to me that it would be nice to have a thread on powwows.com on explaining what's the proper way to wear a cloth dress and the accessories to use so I guess it's up to me to start the thread.
1.) Cloth dresses which is the easiest, cheepest and least accessories one could wear or make.
2.) Types of materials one could use for both shawl/dress and how long should the sleaves be.
3.) Which is better eagle plumes or single feather and how would one wear it (securing and direction it should go).
4.) Half shawls (cheater) or traditional ones ( 2 yrds)?
5.) Types of accessories to use with the various dresses.
6.) Types of fans to use.
7.) Knee high mocs or Beaded leggings w/ ankle mocs or cloth leggins w/ ankle mocs.
8.) Crown, headband or barettes.
9.) Which side should one wear the shawl (left or right)
10.) Ribbonwork, Applicays, embrodery, ect.
Any suggestions that anyone might have could help someone currently dancing or just start out. WHO knows someones way of doing things might be easer and shorter on time than what we might be doing right now. Wa-dv & Mahalo everyone for their inputs.
