Villa de Mexicano | Vintage 1960s 1970s Hippie Flower Power Mexican Hand Embroidery Maxi Dress
The story:
We treasure each and every embroider and/or ethnic garment we come across. We particularly love anything Mexican, Spanish, Hungarian, Peruvian, Aztec, African, Batik and hand-printed.
So we have been searching for a Mexican dress for ages!
This in all her green (love this shade of green! It's so so rare ;) glory is entirely hand-embroidered (we peeked behind and yes we could see every stitch)!
Has non-elastic cuffs so they are absolutely comfy to wear and you could even pair it with a 3/4 sleeve bodysuit inside and jeans for a more hippie, indie-jappy look.
Pinned?:
No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one. Please refer to the details below for exact measurements.
