Wing Dress Pattern

For a certain cousin (Anna) who is doing a report on Sacagawea...

Here is the Wing Dress pattern I used to sew Lucy's "dolly and me" dresses (fitting the Kaya American Doll and Lucy at 4 years old). Note: I definitely took some artistic licenses.

Here is a more authentic, contemporary wing dress. Each tribe's patterns and materials are different but this looks similar to ones my VERY untrained eyes have seen. I've also seen them made out of gingham and buckskin.


Here is Kaya's dress. Lucy's looks similar.


Qe’ciyéw’yew’nim léeheyn! Great thanks to Lynne Pinkham, Nez Perce elder, who shared her pattern with our family.
