Cuff, late 1800s. In the 1800s, native peoples began to use European fabrics to fashion fine formal garments; they favored sturdy cloth, such as velvet and wool broadcloth, which provided support for heavy decorative beadwork that was added by hand. Often the fabric was a dark colour, providing dramatic contrast for the multicoloured beads. Rather than encrusting the entire garment, beadwork was confined to cuffs, "epaulettes," bib-like plackets and yokes, rectangular panels sewn to leggings, shirts, and dresses, and the like.
