Indian Costume - Pocahontas Costume

Indian Costumes are A Timeless Choice

Indians lived fascinating lives, always using what they had and coming up with new ways to accomplish their goals. When people think of Indian women, they may think of the brave Pocahontas who married a foreigner or Sacajawea, who helped Lewis and Clark find their way to Oregon. Wearing an Indian costume takes people back to a time period that many don't think about anymore.

Pocahontas Costume

One of the most famous indian princesses was Pocahontas. For hundreds of years after her death, Pocahontas was considered by many to be a princess and now the pocahontas costume is a very popular indian costume worn by many for halloween or other fancy dress events.

Indian Costumes 

Most Indian costumes are brown and made from fibers that are supposed to look like animal skins. They are usually simple dresses, but may have intricate bead work on the front. Some of the dresses are tied with belts, much like the real Indians used to do. Many women who come from Indian ancestors have access to pictures and family that can help them achieve an authentic look, but most of us must rely on pictures that we see in books and online to figure out exactly what real Indians looked like. Indian princess costumes are handy because you can buy the entire costume and not have to worry about putting it together yourself.

Accessorizing an Indian costume is fun because there are so many choices. Many Indian tribes used beads instead of money to trade with other tribes, so beading is very important to their culture, and many Indian outfits are accented with beads of many colors. They also decorated themselves with feathers. Wearing feathers in your hair is a great way to add interest and authenticity to an Indian costume.

Indians often braided their hair, and their hair is almost always long and black. Wigs and colored hair sprays are available to help women achieve an Indian look with their hair. Some Indians were barefoot, while others wore many styles of moccasins or boots. Their boots are brown and made to look like animal skin. They are generally very comfortable and can easily be worn for hours without causing discomfort. Some Indians wore boots that were tied with rope to keep them on their feet.

Indian costumes can be worn alone, or an Indian tribe may travel together. Women who wear Indian costumes may want their date to dress like a cowboy or an Indian Chief. Dressing like an Indian may even make you want to research your heritage and find out more about the history of native American culture.
