Just like men, women wore their everyday clothes (dress and leggings in the case of women) but added warm buffalo hide robes with the hair left on.
Their moccasins might be insulated with buffalo fur stuffed inside, but otherwise they did not wear any other special clothing. In the coldest weather everyone remained inside their lodges (tipis) with a warm fire burning and snug buffalo robes for bedding.
Later, trade blankets replaced buffalo hide robes.
