This traditional Otomí woman’s blouse is crafted from off-white cotton and showcases exquisite poplin smocking adorned with fine black embroidery. The blouse features a densely gathered neckline and structured, short sleeves, both constructed separately and sewn onto the garment with double lining reinforcement for durability. Rich black threadwork contrasts sharply with the light fabric, emphasizing the yoke’s geometric smocking patterns, which include interlocking diamonds and wave motifs.Made/Created
