Huichol Embroidered Cotton Manta

Peasant Blouse

These are the heavier cotton blouses you wore

in the 60's and 70's.

 

What is Manta?

Manta is natural 100% cotton grown and woven in Mexico. It is the

material that makes up the vast number of cotton peasant blouses and pants

you see throughout the country.  It comes in several thicknesses, from

that gauzy peasant blouse, to the heavier cottons used for shirts and

dresses.  We have both on this website.

This manta is medium weight, is natural in color (unbleached),

and after the first wash will be the softest blouse you have ever owned.

All sleeves are gathered.

I washed one of the blouses to see how it would hold up,

and it came out really soft (the starchiness was washed out),

and the embroidery threads were colorfast and did not run.

I used a warm/cold gentle cycle, and a low heat dryer.

HOW TO MEASURE.

First, your bra size is irrelevant.  This is actual measurement.

Put on your bra, and measure with a tape around your back

to the front edge of the cup.  That measurement should

fall somewhere within the bust measurement for each blouse.

It can be bigger, or smaller, depending on how  loose you

want the blouse to be.  The hip measurement cited is at the
widest dimension.
