I made my regailia from a two toned black to orange cloth that has a really nice white splatter effect on it. To me the cloth reminds me of looks like the milkyway with an orange sunset. Something that this cloth dress has added is a double-sided cloth yoke with megis shells, much like the leather buckskin style top.

Other items I made was my daughters Fancy Shawl outfit. A full length ribboned cloth dress for sundance. orange

Last night I just finished drawing my designs and the main color is yellow. It has butterflies, hearts, flowers, and vines. I wanted to have it done in time for Gatherings so I have to get crackin'. I want to have the crown, hairties, basically the works done. I also designed four dresses with matching shawls, my mom will be doing the sewing. Well, thats what I'm doing.

My wife just got her first dress, a Christmas present from my father. Now we have to get her the rest of her outfit together so she can dance. Gonna be a big chore since I'm working on my first outfit (tradish). But I work best when I'm under pressure.
