Product Description

The Adelina Dress Black with mustard embroidery was made 100% by hand on a rayon canvas. The figures of the Adelina Dress Black are drawn on the fabric and then embroidered, either in one or a color combination, then cut and sewn. The iconography of these garments represents the flora and fauna, mostly birds, of the ancestors of the area.

The neckline of these dresses are wide so it can also be worn with a bare shoulder as a small variation. It also looks great with a pair of boots or over a pair of jeans. And to give it an even more boho style you could add a hat.

Each piece is unique and unrepeatable so it has its own peculiarities of its manual manufacture. These small imperfections should not be seen as flaws but as part of its unique character.

Adelina, Jalapa de Diaz, Oaxaca

Huipiles and Blusas Palmita

She belongs to a collective of about 50 people that formed 15 years ago. Between men and women they divide the work of cutting, embroidery and tailoring. Thisa is done so that in the elaboration of a garment several people collaborate. It takes approximately 2–3 months to make them, since the iconography is very extensive.

Adelina is a very kind, responsible and caring woman. She has an infinite willingness to work, always full of proposals, showing all that she and the group are capable of doing. They have been able to combine their textile art with new designs, which makes them unique. I am very pleased to be able to collaborate together.
