Children’s Indian Costume Models

When trying to buy children’s indian costume you will find several models that are not always with the Brazilian Indian way. The stores usually work with the two most common types of clothing: the North American Indians, with longer clothes due to the cold weather, and the Brazilian, very colorful and no more than two pieces.

when you think of children’s indian costume one of the most common inspirations is Pocahontas, a Disney animated film character from the 1990s.

Pocahontas is a North American Indian, more specifically from the United States. Therefore, their clothing is different from national Indians mainly due to the climate. The North American Indians’ thick fabrics are mostly leather, a necessity because of the cold climate and living in denser forests. But in several points they look like Brazilian Indians as free movements, use of colors and always natural elements. You can get inspiration from the film to put together the look without problems.
