Jingle Dress

A jingle dress is a North American Indian woman’s garment decorated with multiple rows of hollow metal cones. The dress originated among Ojibwe communities in the Great Lakes region (USA). While Ojibwe women wore sashes in the late 1800's decorated with metal cones, the jingle dress first appeared in the 1920's.
