The Metis dress is a mixed creation stemming from both Native and European backgrounds. The Metis used Native beadwork along with European embroidery. Most women dressed in very simple long dark dresses with a high neckline. To decorate their dresses they used dyed horsehair and painted shells. They would often wear shalls over their heads and embroidered or beaded moccasins on their feet. Dresses were made out of cotton, wool, and velvet as their favourite choice. We often see pictures of beautiful Metis coats like a capote that was a long jacket made out of the Hudson Bay blanket with a pointed hat.

Another handsome jacket that the men wore are called frock jackets that were made out of caribou, moose, or bison decorated with embroidery, beads, quills, painting, and fringes of horsehair.

Gloves called gontlets and Flat hats were also common and decorated with embroidery, quillwork and beadwork. The octopus bag is another interesting item that came from the idea of the bags that were made out of animal with the leg and tail fur left hanging down. This bag was used to carry tobacco and shooting supplies and was used for special occasions. The

Metis had three types of moccasins one, which was like a mitten that consisted of two pieces of leather sewn together; the second was a pointed toed shoe with no decoration. And the third was a decorated moccasin with embroidery, horsehair, porcupine quills, and beads.
