Good used condition. Gentle wear and fading throughout, see photos Our short Flores dress is a classic cotton shift dress, made for style and comfort. The dress is made of 100% cotton with hand-embroidered flowers in the upper bust area and flowers and vines surrounding the neckline. Satin ribbon adorns the arm holes and the straight hem. Hand-embroidered detail runs down the center of the dress. Purple and off white classic Flores Dress The Flores pieces come from the community of San Antonino Castillo Velasco. It is a community in Oaxaca that is known for its traditional floral hand embroidery, which dates back over 200 years. These blouses and dresses can take over one month to make, and specialty pieces can take up to six months to complete. As each garment is entirely handmade, these pieces are one-of-a-kind works of art. The designs are made by first stamping the pattern onto the chosen fabrics with ink using a large iron stamp. From there, the artisans use a small hoop to stretch the fabric and embroider the designs using selected threads.
