100% cotton Velveteen, brand new to Creators Gifts. 

Have you been seeing Grandmother’s Dress, aka Strap Dress or Woodland Women’s dress at powwow’s in recent years and you want to make your own? Strap dresses have been part of our clothing for several hundred years, originally made from deer hides, and reintroduced again in the past few years made from velveteen.  Creators Gifts is excited to bring a variety of colours for your strap dresses needs.

The red velveteen is available in 41” width, and all other colours are available in 55”-56” width.
