Misses 4-20; Girls 4-10.
This pullover blouse was traditionally made of velvet, lined with calico, embellished with silver buttons, and worn with a calico "broomstick" skirt made of three tiers to represent the stages of a woman's life (infancy, adulthood and the elder years). Our sewing pattern includes complete blouse instructions, historical information, and drawings for tiered skirt (and tips for broomstick pleating effect).
The traditional clothing often associated with Navajo women and girls evolved from the post-Civil War days of the late 19th century and was influenced by white American dress of the time: a high-necked, tight-fitting velveteen blouse with a long and very full gathered skirt, often in a contrasting calico print or solid color. This blouse shows more influence from men's shirts or work smocks of that time, but it is a style that was and remains popular.
