This listing is for a truly lovely tan leather fringed dress with Native American beading at the collar. This piece made by an unknown artisan.
The dress is made of two sheets of leather, sewn at the outer borders. Very fine fringe has been hand-cut at the cuffs, the hem, and hanging down from the sleeves. There are seven strands of colorful beads strung on orange thread and embroidered in place at the collar.
The dress can technically fit over the head and arms of a miniature doll, but I suspect it would be nearly impossible to slip a pre-made doll into this outfit without cutting open the back to provide ease of fitting over arms and body. If your doll is in pieces, it might be easier to slip the parts into the dress and construct the doll once the dress is on. I am not an expert in this area, though, so I am only guessing.
The dress comes with a small, handmade wire hanger, making it easy to display.
NOTE: SEE PHOTOS: There is some fraying of the edges of the leather along the sides of the dress, but these could be easily trimmed with fine scissors.
It would be marvelous simply on display in a southwest scene, but stunning if you can design a way to dress a doll in this outfit.
