1970s Embroidered Mexican Folk Blouse
A really spectacular Mexican folk blouse adorned with vibrant floral embroidery throughout. These intricately embroidered pieces have a rich history, evolving from traditional Mayan garments. This blouse is tunic length with a classic loose and smock shape, featuring short sleeves, crochet trim, and cutout detailing. Beautifully embroidered with flower-filled vases and foliage, it is crafted from a lightweight cotton and synthetic blend, ensuring comfort and style. The crochet trim at the neck, hem, and cuffs adds a delicate touch, making this a very special piece!

Two very small stains near the right armpit at the front (pic 8) and one near the hem (pic 9). Some light wear to the fabric where it has thinned slightly in places.
