Cherokee women had no such traditional tribal dress. There was no real reason for them to cling to any particular style because they few opportunities to interact with other tribes like we do today with our pow-wows and inter-tribal events. Any style of clothing that a Cherokee woman might wear at any particular time was discarded once the dress wore out and merchants introduced new fashion ideas and new types of fabrics.The origin and adoption of the modern day Cherokee Tear Dress. The garment we call the Cherokee Tear Dress came about to fulfill the needs of a particular situation and had more to do with embarrassment than it had to do with tribal pride or tradition. The situation arose in 1968 when a young Cherokee woman, by the name of Virginia Stroud, was chosen as "Miss Indian America". She had competed and was crowned in a Kiowa buckskin dress she had borrowed from a college friend.
W.W. Keeler, who was the appointed Cherokee Chief at the time, was approached by a group of Cherokee women about Virginia Stroud’s official wardrobe. They felt it was unacceptable for a Cherokee women who was suppose to be representing the Cherokee people in the public eye was appearing at public events dressed as a Kiowa. Chief Keeler agreed and appointed a committee of Cherokee women to find something more appropriate for Miss Stroud that would reflect the Cherokee’s eastern woodland traditions, history and style.
They could not find an established precedence in Oklahoma for a traditional tribal dress. The answer they decided could only be found someplace in North Carolina, Georgia or Tennessee. The ladies mounted a serious search for a record of a dress design that would be uniquely Cherokee and acceptable by Chief Keeler. They did not want to simply copy or adapt any other tribe’s style. And they did not want the dress to look anything like the Plain’s Indian dress. They also wanted the dress to be historically correct and if a dress could be found, it had to be documented.
To be continued...
Part II contains eyewitness accounts of the prototype of the first Miss Cherokee Tear Dress, how and by whom it was discovered, how it was copied and who made the first original copy, and how the pattern and construction methods were perfected. Names of those involved will be given; some of them are still alive, as is Miss Virginia Stroud who now lives in Tahlequah, OK. She still has that original dress along with the original crown and white turkey feather cape she wore during her reign as Miss Indian America.
Women have been wearing dresses for centuries. While the style has greatly changed over the years, dresses are definitely here to stay. They're feminine and sensual, and allow women to get creative with their wardrobes while feeling absolutely beautiful. Next time you're putting on that cocktail dress, think about some of the history behind it. You may be surprised to hear that dresses were originally worn by men (think kilts and togas). I think it's safe to say that the dresses women wear today are much different than the historical skirts men used to wear. Although dresses have changed so much over the last few centuries, we often see old trends making their way back onto the runway. For example high-low dresses like the beautiful BLUSH PROM 9501 were popular many years ago. They are once again they the hottest fashion trend in dresses. Old fashion trends seem to always make their way back into our closets.
Though some things remain the same, many styles, materials and lengths have changed. Dresses used to only be available in floor length. Ladies were not allowed to show off their leg as it simply wasn't proper. Somewhere around the 1920's, dresses started to rise to about knee length. This is around the same time when women started fighting for their rights. Back then, families were living off of a single income as most women were home makers. This meant that money was tight, and clothes had to be repurposed. It was common for women to take their old curtains and turn them into a dress they had sewn themselves. This also meant that if clothing was damaged, it had to be repaired instead of replaced. Constantly having to repair dresses while using the same amount of material may have also contributed to the rising hemlines.
