These lovely little hand embroidered cotton Mexican dresses are works of art in my opinion and this one is an amazing example. These were made by hand by local artisans for the tourist market. I think this one is one of the prettiest I have ever seen and I think I will be sad to see it go once it sells.

The base fabric is a more crisp white cotton that has been top stitched with little vertical seams that cover the entire dress. These add visual detail and also let the dress be shaped so that it opens up the way that it does. Running between those long vertical stitches are a hand embroidered floral design. That is what adds the bright pops of colour to the dress that you see. It is incredible. Each sleeve is cut so that it expands out as it reaches its end and they are quite full. Each is a full 36" around the end of the sleeve. At the end of the sleeve you also see that they have added horizontal top stitching to form a bit of a grid pattern for added detail. The same grid pattern is done around the hem of the dress as well and I love it. The body of the dress is loose and easy. It skims over the bust and then gradually widens out to be very full by the time it reaches the hem. Everything about this dress is beautiful and it is rare to find one in white that is still so crisp and clean. It is a beautiful dress. Excellent condition
