Sometimes a softer baby weight of the same ply will work.

National was great, it was the first one I had been too and I really enjoyed it. The Southern Drum was made up of several groups.
The Northern Drums were Blue Star, Tas'unka, and Lakeside.
The Hethuska was wonderful also, love dancing with 100 Straight Dancers!

It is my understanding that the fingerwoven sets we wear in our straight dance attire are representative of scalps, is this true?
Historically, the Osage had a particular way of dealing with scalps and they were never worn as an item of clothing, in fact, they were thrown away.
"They also had some size 18 beads if anyone is looking. Not many takers from what the storekeeper told me, just two elderly ladies who come in twice a year to load up on em for belt buckles."
You can buy 18/0-22/0 in NYC by the loose kilo. Limited colors. Can't walk in off the street but have to have a well established account. This size bead was never really used by Indian people except on a few maritime pieces.
Moire taffeta can be found in any decent fabric store especially in ethnic neighborhoods in the larger cities. They carry the old pure colors vs the trashy pastels usually found elsewhere. You rarely find pastels in Indian work and I've seen tons of it, however, there is an occasional modern aberration.
