Men's Southern Straight Dance Otter Tail Men's & Women's Otter Turbans The Otter Tail is an essential part of a man's Straight Dance Outfit. Yours can be made with our immitation otter fur (looks very real), or with real otter skin (depending on availability). Otter Turbans are traditionally styled after the fashions worn by men and women of many tribes in the past. Today, they are most often worn by dancers from the Woodland & Southern Plains tribes, often by those who are Chief's Descendants. Wool tradecloth otter tails and turbans have design on edges, with contrast stitching to compliment your outfit. Turbans have a hidden adjustable closure on bottom edge under tail, to allow for a perfect fit. The examples shown here have beadwork & rhinestone trim added (not included). Although real otter fur is traditional, otter skins have limited availablity today due to foreign fashion trends, and can run $200 - $250 per skin, depending on quality & size. Hand-tanned skins supplied by customer may incur additional labor costs if skins are difficult to cut & mount. We have a very realistic faux otter fur available for budget concious customers. Otter Tail - LABOR ONLY $150 Otter Turban - LABOR ONLY $200 Imitation Otter strips for tail or turban $25

Cherokee Tear Dress This dress style was adopted by the Cherokee Nation here in Oklahoma in 1975. Our dresses are made with bold cotton prints and bright accent colors on the appliqued bands. Choose diamonds, diamonds with crosses (old Cherokee basket design), 7-pointed Cherokee Stars, or mountain designs (often requested by Eastern band) designs on the appliqued bands. These dresses take many hours to make, because we don't skip the original details like ruffles on top of the yoke and dress bottom. Our dreses are made loose without the original inset waist, and come with a matching fabric belt. Request original 3/4 length sleeves or long sleeves, original mid-calf length or ankle-length skirt. These dresses are made the traditional way using squares & rectangles based on your measurements. WE DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL PATTERN to make our dresses. Traditional cotton calicos are harder to find than ever, so expect to be flexible on your color choices. Prices start at $200 for teen and adult sizes. Wedding dresses available with several months notice.

The matching shawl also has the diamond and cross design across the width of the shawl. Ribbon Dress $125. Matching Shawls $100-$125 heavily fringed on all 4 sides with 14" fringe.

Ladies Caped Blouse These caped blouses (back view show) were adopted from the Pennsylvania Dutch women, and are worn by the women of tribes as diverse at the Delaware, Shawnee, and Caddo. These are made from cotton & polyester blends, or washable polyester satins. Cowrie shells (shown) or silver conchos are often sewn onto the capes of these blouses (available for an extra charge). These blouses are generally worn with a large silver brooch at the front closure. We don't keep these large brooches in stock, so allow 1 - 2 weeks for delivery. Caped blouses start at $100, silver brooches, shells and labor to sew them on extra.

ORDERING INFORMATION AND POLICIES

ITEMS IN THE PHOTO ALBUM ARE NOT FOR SALE. We make custom regalia, and don't normally keep an extensive inventory available, except for items listed on the FOR SALE page. Email us for availabilty of any recently finished items which may not be shown on the FOR SALE page yet.

EMAIL US for best response. Emails are normally answered with 24 hours. If you call and we don't answer, leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as possible.

We are located in a remote rural area in north central Oklahoma, several miles from the town of Red Rock, on reservation land of the Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Oklahoma. We are nearly 100 miles north of Oklahoma City, 100 miles west of Tulsa, and 100 miles south of Wichita, Kansas. Visitors should contact us IN ADVANCE for directions and an appointment. Because we are primarily a custom regalia shop, we don't keep a retail store or regular retail hours.

NO PAYMENT IS REQUIRED TO PLACE AN ORDER. All orders over $100 require 1/2 down payment WHEN we are ready to purchase fabric. Orders requiring the purchase of skins must pay for the skins entirely, before work is started. The remaining payment, plus shipping charges, are due before the finished item is shipped. Orders using family designs or other non-saleable items must be paid IN FULL before work on the order is started. Advance payment before we're ready to start WILL NOT move the order ahead on the waiting list. NO EXCEPTIONS !

There is normally a 6 to 9 month waiting list for custom orders. We do not promise finish dates under any circumstances. Orders are normally filled on a first come / first served basis, unless similar projects can be done at the same time without delay. We reserve the right to refuse orders for regalia which is not appropriate for authentic Native American gatherings. We may refuse or cancel orders from customers who are unusually difficult to please or very impatient. We do not sell wholesale to dealers.

We accept cash, money orders, personal checks, and credit cards. Orders paid with personal out-of-state checks and some money orders will not be shipped until the payment clears the bank.

If an order is cancelled after it has been started, the down payment will be refunded to the customer as soon as the finished outfit is sold. Finished orders which are not paid by the customer within 30 days may be sold, unless mutually agreeable arrangements are made.

If a customer is unable to pay for their order when we notify them that we are ready to start, that order will be postponed until they are ready for it, and we can get back to it again.

We've never had anyone request a return, but will consider any reasonable request should it occur. We are not responsible for incorrect measurements from customers, or someone changing their mind.

We normally ship via Priority Mail (2-3 day service) through the U.S. Postal Service, which can deliver to post office boxes also. Express Mail shipments are available with one or two day service to most of the 48 states. All shipping charges (and insurance, if requested) are the responsibility of the customer, and must be paid in advance. We require Delivery Confirmation on all packages shipped. We can ship to business or work addresses. We can ship via UPS or FedX, but arrangements must be made in advance, because there are no shipping centers nearby.

Sometimes the "perfect" fabric is elusive, and several shopping trips may be necessary to find the right one. Customers who are not somewhat flexible with color and fabric choices may possibly face a long wait.

We use quality, durable fabrics in our regalia, and use washable fabrics whenever possible. We do not recommend that customers buy their own fabric, because unknown fabrics may have colors that bleed, or they may shrink more than normal. Please check with us before purchasing any fabric yourself.

Customers purchasing contemporary regalia made with metalic or sequined fabrics must pay particular attention to their care, because metalic fabrics are easily prone to damage from normal wear. Many of these beautiful fabrics have a limited lifespan, but ALL metalic and sequined fabrics have a limited lifespan if not cared for properly. NEVER touch a hot iron directly to a metalic or sequined surface, always protect them by covering with a handkerchief. Metalics should be hand washed, not dry cleaned.

We do not accept responsibility for items which are damaged due to improper care. Repairs to items with fabrics damaged due to incorrect care will incur a labor charge. Hand washing is appropriate for most items, but some items may need to be professionally dry cleaned. Machine washing and drying is NOT recommended unless specifically stated. Please inquire if you have lost your care instructions, forgotten, or are in doubt.

We use only top quality animal skins from reliable suppliers, but small inperfections are inherent to the natural material. We will not work on hand-tanned skins supplied by the customer, without first inspecting their suitability for the regalia item requested. Items made with hand-tanned or "brain tanned" skins may incur extra labor costs, as these skins are usually more difficult to work with. This may include deer, elk, and otter skins. Skins which do not lay flat when shipped to us, will often not lay flat when made into regalia. We are not expert furriers and do not promise professional results when piecing together furs and skins.
