  • Did you ever have a sequin outfit?

    Can't ever say it was mine. My sis made a few and I just burrowed herz. Tiffany Paskimine and her sis Netty Yazzie started a trend out here. Then again what fad didn't they start out here. They made awesome stuff for Netty. I think she had like 6 of them. Each one different and purty. They have some new sequin colors out ,I'm thinking of making one for myself.:Angel:

      I think they are just purdy!!! I actually did my sequins one before I am starting my beadwork. Beadwork for this next season and about to start my niece's sequins outfit too. Lots of work for the winter!! Whew!!

          I remember Antoinette Begay and her sequin outfits. In 1989 her black and white outfit was cool but I noticied that her fancy shawl steps were too awesome for somebody so young. It turned out that she was copying Gracie Her Many Horses Meeks dance steps and Gracie actually confronted Antoinette and told her to stop. Antoinette complied and was still able to win without plagarizing Gracie's steps. But it would've been nice to have had a Gracie mini-me.

                  It was white background eagle feathers on it and a geometrical design. It was the flat kind and it wasn't the kind with the beads holding them down they were glued on and then hand sewed down. You know what would look awesome? Is an outfit made of those holographic sequins that are out now. I only seen gold and silver around but I'm always waitin to see Bonnie come out w/ one like that. I haven't seen one yet has anyone?

                      I have a sequin vest my friend bought me, that I just attached a yoke too, It's awesome at night when the light hits it just right. The only bad part is that The sequins are sewn on with the seed beads on top, so my hair gets caught in it.

                        I used to have one it was a light purple background with an eagle on it, but sold it. Now i dont have any sequins thinking of making my daughter one though for me its easier to use sequins then beads. i hand sewn mine not with the bead but oh well thats was a while ago now

                            I made my daughter Angie a purple set back in 90. It was awesome and everyone thought it was all bugle beads. It was the flat sequins and I just sewed them on with the machine.

                            Then I made my daughter Jo a set with sequins and a beaded design. It was looked very cool.

                            I still like to put at least a row of sequins on the border of things I make. And am looking for more hologram sequins for my grandbaby's first outfit.:)

                              Wow, I guess you're not as distant as everybody thinks. I guess I can reveal my source but then everything gets distorted. Which is probably why you dismantled your friendship with Tanksida.

                                I never had one. Lots of gurls down here had them. Netty had some cool ones. Her older sis Kim had this awesome baby blue one. Even Tanksida had one. I had several threads on sequin and needle point outfits and I forgot about this style.

                                I just got back from a trip to Oklahoma where I had a wonderful conversation with a Kiowa man and a Pawnee man about fancy dance and its hitory and also its future. The topic of outfits came up and we started talking about beadwork. Their views were that less beadwork is seen among dancers today and...

                                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?
