The Indigineous Indian women make some of the most beautiful hand-embroidered blouses in Mexico. The clothing they wear day-to-day takes my breath away, with the handwork and intricacy, and the beautiful colors.
The blouse above gives you an idea of the handwork, and areas where each blouse is embroidered. Each is one-of-a-kind, as the girls create as they go.
The
fabric used is called "sheeting", a white
polished Mexican cotton-blend. It is not 100%
cotton, even though the use label sewn into the blouse
says it is 100% algondon (cotton). This fabric is lightweight.
It is also a bit sheer, which means that you can't see
through it, but you can see "into" it.
For an absolutely drop-dead gorgeous look with this
blouse I would wear it with a snow-white loose camisole
(probably with a built-in bra) to make the colors on
the embroidery just pop.
For more Huichol fully embroidered blouses on manta cotton click HERE or find them on the page with the entire MaChuy collection. Manta is the heavier cotton that you remember from the 60's and 70's - or not :-) all of you youngsters!
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.
