BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture Native American Ribbon Shirts and the French Revolution?

Now, I'd hesitate getting close to a buck that has a ragged ribbon shirt in his antlers...

That would be a real fright, for sure!

I've posted about completing my husband's ribbon shirt in other threads, but had to add this here. I talked with the vendor we had purchased the shirt from and she suggested I not put "ribbon dangles" on the back as they get caught in a sash. As soon as I finished the last ribbon cut, my husband walked up. I think he heard me yell. I turned it around and he immediately asks, "Where's the 'danglies' on the back?"

So the shirt is not COMPLETELY finished. I do have to add ribbon strips on the back. For some reason, I thought hash marks went on both sleeves. Wrong, only 1, so it will work to add them. He really likes the shirt, so he may have to wait for another, more formal one until I finish MY dress and his belt.

This shirt is going to be one very nice ribbon shirt. You are a busy lady, lcp.

The shirt will truly be him. His desires come from his spirit and it's this spirit that will remind him to hold his head high with pride when he dons your work or art. Many thanks for your contributions to a proud vet.
