        "description": "According to D. Y. Begay, the contemporary Din\u00e9 (Navajo) weaver, every Din\u00e9 woman should own a <em>bill\u2019\u00e9\u00e9</em> (dress), which holds spiritual power, confers protection, encodes stories about the aesthetic of Din\u00e9 culture, and ensures her place in society. This example is made of two matching panels attached on the sides and shoulders, a type that developed from single-panel dresses in the late 1700s. Originally gathered at the waist with a woven belt, the dresses also can be cinched with silver <em>concha </em>belts of Din\u00e9 creation. Today, the bill\u2019\u00e9\u00e9 continues to respond to fashion trends and is worn on special occasions.",
