1970s Casa Maya Handmade & Embroidered Mexican Caftan
This is just an amazing piece of art-to-wear. Hand made in Mexico in the late sixties, maybe early seventies, this is the epitome of hippie chic and is very easy to wear. The design is based on a classic caftan with wide cut sleeves and a body that widens as it nears the hem. It is made of a light, raw feeling cotton with a linen like finish. The base color is a orange that is striped in different hues and over that are sewn different color ribbons that run down the length of the dress. with an explosion of color and movement with those strands of multi-colored ribbon applied to the front. These are hand sewn into place, as are the little rounded corner squares of fabric that are scattered over the caftan. Each of those are done is different color stripes and each has some whimsical little bug, or plant hand embroidered in its center. It is wonderful. Excellent condition.
