How do I make a Pocahontas costume?

Answer by  Kelly88 (434)

Look at photos of the Disney character online; get some brown or other earth tone fabric and make a very basic dress. From there you'll want to fringe the edges.

For making a Pocahontas costume, you will need felt, in an earthy color. Use wooden beads for making a necklace. Also, find a photo of Pocahontas online to work from.

Indian costumes are one of the easiest to make. With brown material, make a simple dress. Fringe the bottom and sleeves. Add beading decoration and a belt, as desired. Use the material to make a headband and add a feather and voila, you have a Pocahontas or Indian costume. Trick or treat!

Use brain tanned deer hide, this is expensive but authentic. Create a simple pattern for an over-blouse style tunic and loose pants. If you don't use deer hide, use a tan fabric that resembles deer hide. Cut and sew along the seams by hand, with overlapping stiches.

Use suede fabric. Place over head and cut neck hole. Cut long 1/2 strip for belt and headband. Hot glue beads on dress. Place feathers in headband.

Try going to your local thrift store and looking for a tan/ brownish skirt and vest. Then gather some turquoise fabric and use it to decorate the skirt and vest in fringey type fashion. You may also look for some type of turquoise colored stones or beads to hot glue to the bottom part of the skirt.
