Child’s dance dress

Description:	Jingle dresses first came into fashion in the 1890s for Pow Wows dancing, which are intertribal get-togethers. Women danced in these resonant dresses lavishly adorned with bells and later, metal cone-shaped “tinklers.” When bells were too expensive or difficult to obtain, rolled up lids from cans of snuff, smokeless tobacco, were used.
