Originally, the cloth shirt was worn by Indians east of the Mississippi, who modified the basic Anglo dress shirt with the addition of decorations and slight change in its' construction. Appearing sometime in the mid-19th century, and spreading northward up the Mississippi Valley and southward and westward with the Indian migrations into Oklahoma, it was, and still is, a very popular style with many different tribes throughout the country. It is appropriate to wear with a number of different types of dance outfits, as well as with street clothes.

The blousy fit and large sleeves allow complete freedom of movement, making it a very practical and comfortable garment for dancing or everyday wear. This pattern includes variations for ribbon placement, along with detailed, illustrated instructions for assembly.
