Cross posting from Grass dance board, this came out of a discussion there and I described what was on this video I have. Anyway, see below if interested. Waddo!
--------------------------------------------
The video is of Fire Cloud's Dance outfit which is located at Milwaukee Public Museum. It is not commercially available, and I don't readily have a way to get copies made, but if there is some interest, I will figure something out.
As for the roach, It is 9 inches long. It has a pair of quills sewn into the base near the front of the roach with white fluffs at the top. Near the back there is a pair of shorter quills similarly decorated and sewn into the roach base. It came with two wooden spreaders and a bone socket decorated with ribbons. It was worn with an Eagle feather also.
The bustle was the old style mess bustle with the trailers completely covered in eagle feathers (and included the tail that you don't see much anymore when people make this style bustle).
Quilled kneebands, armbands, cuffs, breastplate, and quillwork at bottom of breechcloth. Skunk anklets.
The most interesting piece would have been worn over the shoulders and the main part that hung down was 30 inches long and about a foot wide. It was pink quillwork with white and blue beadwork done on top of it, and a full length small to medium otter with mirrors on it on each side that extended over the shoulders. It had an Old Settlers Assosiation, 1909 button on it.
