I would use same amount of fabric as would go into a shawl - about 2 yards . If that is too much for you , then shorten it some .

Amount of Fabric Needed

Sorry, can't tell you how many yards needed for the matchcoat. I bought 6 yards for both the skirt and the matchcoat. I ended up having some left over. This is always how I buy fabric so if I make a mistake I still have more to correct it. I hope this helps.Walk softly on Mother EarthComment

My husband helped me with mine; I can't work too long with material, wool, and yarns b/c of allergies. I think he did a good job. It looks orange in this pic, but it is red.Last edited by TurtleWoman; 03-11-2009, 07:23 PM.tchrcoun.blogspot.com

I can't believe we chose the same colors for our regalia. Even the ribbon and shirt are the same color. If you look back through this thread you will see my photo. I also have one in green.Originally posted by TurtleWoman View Post

I looked back and your regalia is even more beautiful than mine. You did a fantastic job... as for the colors, great minds think alike.
My favorite colors to wear are red, green, and black.
Our shirts are even pretty close in pattern.

My 4 year old wants to dance fancy shawl, I was going to buy a second hand outfit but was told that you should not get a used outfit because it may have bad medicine, and should just have a new one made instead.

I would like a dancing outfit for my 14 month old son. I saw one for sale for an 18 month old, but it was $250. I can't really afford that and am wondering if anyone has any ideas for me. Perhaps I could make one out of suede fabric, but I don't actually know how.07-21-2007, 03:16 AM

I'm talking about the actual pieces that make up your outfit. I was recently told that Northern Traditional Dancers were supposed to wear aprons that cover hip-to-hip. Now, I've been wearing a tradecloth apron for years that doesn't cover hip-to-hip. And I've had a few boys ask me pointers on dancing...04-06-2003, 12:45 PM -
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?
