Vintage Guatemalan Handloomed Embroidered Maxi Dress M

An incredible vintage Guatemalan handloomed maxi dress, beautifully crafted from substantial pure cotton in the dreamiest muted rainbow stripe.

Traditional woven and embroidered motifs decorate the puff sleeves and sweep around the hem, bringing gorgeous colour, texture and craftsmanship to an otherwise beautifully relaxed silhouette. The softly gathered round neckline, voluminous sleeves and easy A-line shape give her that unmistakable free-spirited vintage feel.

Wear her loose with sandals or boots for an easy bohemian look, or cinch the waist with a wide vintage leather belt to completely change the silhouette.

A truly special piece of traditional Guatemalan textile craftsmanship.
