I think this one is one of the prettiest I have ever seen and I think I will be sad to see it go once it sells.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI love that it has its original label inside as the label is as pretty and unique as the dress itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese lovely little hand embroidered cotton Mexican dresses are works of art in my opinion and this one is an amazing example.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe base fabric is a crisp black cotton that has been top stitched with little vertical pin tuck seams that cover the entire dress. These add visual detail and also help to shape the dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinct bands of hand embroidered yarn flowers run around each sleeve, the band around the waist and above the lower hem of the skirt. That is what adds the bright pops of colour to the dress that you see. It is incredible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe neck line is squared off at both the front and back and the shoulders are soft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach sleeve is cut so that it fall straight from the shoulder to the embroidered band and then underneath that it has these amazing cuffs that expand out to become incredibly full. Each is a full circle all the way around if you lay them out flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA wide band of lace edges the bottom of the sleeve. You see lace used throughout the dress in between the different portions and parts of the pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lace is all placed strategically so you get a little glimpse of skin underneath but are still properly covered. It is fantastic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe bodice skims to the band of embroidery at the waist and then the skirt sits under that. It gradually widens out to be very full by the time it reaches the hem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything about this dress is beautiful and it is rare to find one that is still so crisp and perfect. It is a beautiful dress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnlined and closes with a painted metal zipper at the back. It appears to have been worn very little if at all.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is no size tag present.
