Mexican Clothing Co Baby Girls Mexican Costume Embroidered Blouse n Skirt Poplin

Description

This Michoacán style baby girl dress (blouse and skirt) is made by women in communities near Mexico city. Michoacán is the state of Mexico where Purepechas have lived for a long time, in the land around Lake Patzcuaro. Women use sophisticated clothing: A skirt with a pattern, a long blouse with embroidery at the bottom and around the neck, a belt strapped on the back, and usually a rebozo. Blouses with more embroidery are used in special celebrations. Aprons are also typically used and they also have nice cross stitch embroidery decoration. The dress is used everywhere in Mexico for celabrations and festivities from 5 de Mayo to Nativity. Blouse in is with hand made embroidery, and the skirt is made in broadcloth with elastic on waist. The combination makes the little one looks adorable. We are working with co-ops of women that work together to make pieces of art using their available time at home to embroider and woven. We support the indigenous families of Mexico empowering them to earn a stable income and providing a window to the world for their products with a fair trade price. Using our product you are sharing the story of women in Mexico whose hearts and dreams are carried in this piece.
