Modern Iroquois women wear modern clothes - I met many of them on a visit to the Seneca reservation at Cattaraugus.

If you mean their historic dress, the women of the Iroquois tribes (Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, Oneida and Mohawk) originally wore just a wrap-around skirt of deerskin reaching to mid calf, sometimes with knee-length leggings and moccasins. In summer nothing else was worn but in cold weather a shapeless top was added, fringed at its lower edge. Girls wore their hair loose (no headband); married women wove it in a single large braid, doubled up and tied with a deerskin strap.

After contact with white people the Iroquois quickly adopted ready-made dresses, blouses, skirts and trade blankets.

Because of modern white prudery there are very few images of those early bare-breasted Iroquois women; the link below takes you to a museum exhibit showing how they really looked:
