Description
This is a more modernized version, simpler design. For daily wear. This can be worn with a long wide skirt with a flowered pattern. This material is cheaper than the others shown and more readily available to women with limited economic resources. They often wear it with an enagua de enredo, a length of material wrapped around the hips reaching to the ankles and tied with a sash, the more traditional skirt of the women of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Wide skirts with petticoats became popular in the later half of the nineteenth century.
