I made my wife a split elk skin dress years a go. It is made of two large
pieces front and back that go to about the knees and two piece that attach
and extend the dress to the ankles. I used thongs thru antler buttons with
red and blue crow beads to attach them to the upper part so they could be
removed if she wanted. The antler buttons have to go. Any recommendations
what to replace them with? Square pieces of red trade cloth? How about the
crow beads?
Thanks Mark Roadkill Loader

Mark, You haven't mentioned what area/time frame/persona she is portraying,
but just plain brained leather thong woven through the pieces, or for
something a bit fancier, attached with purple-top "sacred" cowrie shells,
pieces of Abalone shell, etc. might be nice. Barney

The buttons are antler cut across the beam about 3/16 inch thick. They would
have been very difficult to make with primitive tools. Antler buttons seam to
the Hollywood time period better. Want to fit pre 1830 period.
Thanks Mark

On page 31 of Hanson's Feminine Fur Trade Fashions is a belt with large
German silver disks. Would it have been worn pre 1830 or later like on a
reservation?
Thanks Mark Roadkill Loader
