Picbil Dress in White

//A new Artisan Direct listing from our partners in Cobán!//

What a gorgeous gem this piece is, handwoven with beautiful delicate picbil figures in the traditional very thin white cotton. This newly-woven dress has a flattering V-neck from the natural seam created by the two panels. Wear the gauze-like beauty as-is or style with a belt. The fringing at the bottom add a nice weight and movement to the garment.

The dress is filled with some of our favorite pikbil figures - vines growing diagonally, surrounding stars. It takes at least one month to weave the two long panels and combine them with hand-stitching to create one dress. Handmade every step of the way.
 

This dress was handwoven by the talented Leona.
