Authentic Mexican Hand-Embroidered
Cotton Manta Peasant Blouse
fully embroidered
These are the heavier cotton blouses you wore
in
the 60's and 70's.
Limit
is still 2 of any embroidered blouses per order,
and
you have to wait 10 days between orders to ensure
that
all the folks waiting get a chance to get one.
Although
this feels like a lot of choices, remember there
are
only around fifteen per size.

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.
ALL clothing shipping is now through the USPO Priority Mail.
1 blouse is $8.05. I will aggregate in the cheapest box possible for multiples.
That will be with a Zone A box (by zip) or a Medium Priority Box ($ 15.05)
