Dames de Perlage

Dames de Perlage All ladies marching krewe Our preservation of this culture will begin as many Mardi Indians begin, on Ash Wednesday.

The purpose of the Dames de Perlage is to preserve the art and history of perlage (French for beadwork) so often used in costuming during the carnival season by kings, queens, maids, Big Chiefs, Spy Boys and other traditional Mardi Gras Indians. A year long process to create each costume by the Dames de Perlage member will begin with a story board, art direction, bead and supply purchase, design a

nd perlage circles until the final costume is complete for the next carnival season. The costumes will consist of one complete bead covered bustier and headdress.

The Dames would not able to parade if it wasn’t for our Dudes - we want to highlight and thank Dude Colonel Kevin Boyce for his 30 years of service in the Marine Corps. He retired yesterday at an amazing ceremony - the achievements this man has made in his career are astounding. We love and appreciate him as a dude and now that he’s retired he can parade with us even more! Congratulations and thank you for your service Kevin!

Dame Lori and Dude David had the pleasure of attending the retirement ceremony. 💜
