This extremely popular dress acquires its name from the method of "tearing" out its pieces. Unique to the Cherokee and several other tribes of the Southeast, it is easy to make and requires only a few simple measurements.

Complete, fully illustrated instructions are included for sewing and finishing, as well as for decorative ribbon placement.

The pattern is printed on paper for more durability.
