Ethnic Vintage: Embroidered Clothing

I love this style of clothing that has really become popular lately - it's beautiful, it's hand-embroidered, and it's always unique. It's ethnic vintage!

When looking at these garments, I always try to imagine someone stitching on the tiny details in different country. It's not always easy to determine what country these clothes were made in, as a lot of them don't have any tags at all. (At least in my experience!)

I've picked out these items from VKC members because they have a "south-of-the-border" look to them, and were probably made in Mexico or Guatemala!

What do you think? Do you like this style of clothing?

    I remember one of my first shirts I ever really LOVED (in about 7th grade) was this style. Boy, I wish I still had that...

    I have a little girls dress in this style that I haven't been able to part with yet.

    MUST.
    HAVE.
    LITTLE.
