Product Description
The dress is made of cotton with hand embroidered flowers around the neck and at the center. It has ruffles on the sleeves which gives it an even more romantic touch compared to the classic version of San Antonino.
The flowers, or pensamientos as they are called in the community, are first hand drawn on the fabric and then cut and embroidered by hand. Later the pieces are joined and in the center just below the chest the pieces are joined under the technique called ""hazme si puedes"", where figures of men and women are embroidered intercalated and holding hands representing a united and working people. 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. Elaboration time 3 weeks
