Hi Loves,
Here is the second part of my Resort Series. I hope you are as mesmerized as I am by the beautiful Mexican embroidered huipil dress I modeled here. This dress is a more contemporary take on the traditional huipil blouses and dresses characteristic of indigenous women in Mexico and Central America. Huipil embroidery is rich, intricate, and elaborate. I am a big lover of vintage pieces, or pieces that are rich in history and meaning, such as huipil. Huipil often narrates the ethnicity and community of the wearer.
I think these dresses are a perfect resort look, they are soft, loose, comfortable, airy and elegant, all of these elements splashed against a colorful background. If you want to make a huipil dress more fitted, tie a belt, as I did in the picture. Well, I will zip it now, and let these pictures transport you to faraway lands in Central America and Mexico...
The huipil dress and sandals shown here are from Mexican artists, and they were purchased at Feria de Artesanias y Piezas de Molde of the Mita Congretation in Puerto Rico. But you don't need to go to Mexico to find one, you can go to Etsy, Mercado Libre or Ebay and find similar blouses and dresses.
Enjoy!
