Breechcloth
(Also called breechclouts or aprons)

Breecloths for southern straight, northern traditional,
and grass styles all differ somewhat.  Pay attention
to your dance style and look at pictures to get the right one!
Basically you can tell because straight dance will be plain
or have ribbonwork, traditional has fringe and can be beaded,
and grass dance has the yarn "grass" attached to it.
