Online Resources for 18th Century Clothing


The best resource for making Cherokee 18th Century clothing is by purchasing the book “Cherokee Clothing – In the 1700s” it even has instructions on how to make the items. It is about $20.

Wrap Skirt, shawls and leggings – for premade skirts – https://wanderingbull.com/product-category/clothing/shawls-wrap-skirt/
For a wrap skirt you would use linen or wool. The material should wrap around from on hip to the other. Most women use pins to fasten at the top. The flap should open to the left of you or fold over the left leg. The length should be right at the knees or below them. Hem and add ribbon. The traditional colors were blue, red or black. For traditional linen colors you should use black, crimson red or royal blue. https://fabrics-store.com/?r=products/FabricSelector&article=2
For wool, shop at the local fabric store and choose light wool.

A great place to get silver to add to your skirt, shirt, etc., would be https://www.indiantradesilver.com/shop/home.php . They are reasonably priced and historically correct.
