The Mexican Peasant Blouse and Dress Makes a Come Back!
Long live the 60's and 70's and the free and easy clothing...
Day of the Dead. Carnivale. Cinco de Mayo. All of these are normal days to don your festive Mexican Embroidered Peasant Blouses and Dresses. But what about just everyday? These work for the everyday, out and about, just relaxing days as well. Mexican embroidered peasant blouses and dresses are all cotton...some are cotton broadcloth, some are the heavier woven cotton, but all are cotton and meticulously hand embroidered with flowers, birds, flower baskets etc. Each design is unique and up to whoever makes them. I could never make something like this...never could embroider. But these ladies sit in their circles in the village of Oaxaca or Puebla and visit while they stitch.
I also love the dresses for the little girls. Some have hand embroidered lady bugs, butterflies or birds and almost all, womens or girls, have crocheted edges. There's nothing like a hand made article of clothing to make you feel festive. I like them because they are the coolest thing yet for the summer. Pull it over your head and your good to go. The colors are almost as varied as the stitching (and there is no machine stitching on these)...bright pinks, turquoises, greens, oranges, yellows, white, black.....the list goes on.
Simple, easy to wash...I turn them inside out, drop them in a lingerie bag and just toss them in the washer. The cotton broadcloth ones go straight into the dryer afterwards. The woven cotton ones, shake them out and line dry then out you go....the most comfortable article of clothing you will ever own.
