embellishments

I was to the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian in Evanston today to see the exhibit Native Haute Couture. It will hang until January 2016.
What a lovely exhibit. It has early clothing, those influenced by European trade. and some contemporary fashions too.

My favorite was the early to mid 20th century wool woman's dress embellished with elk teeth.

The child's dress has imitation conch shells as decoration.
