buckskin dress

Native American clothing

A buckskin dress is a garment made from the soft, pliable leather of deer or elk hide, traditionally crafted and worn by Indigenous peoples of North America.

The dresses often feature fringe, beadwork, or quillwork and remain significant in ceremonial contexts and cultural celebrations: She wore her grandmother's buckskin dress to the powwow.
