Local artisans hand-embroidered these dresses with traditional motifs using bright threads on cotton or muslin fabric. Each design was unique to the maker, often passed down through families. In the 1960s and 70s, Puebla dresses became popular internationally, embraced by the bohemian and hippie movements for their free-flowing shapes, bold embroidery, and celebration of folk artistry #embroidered #mexicandress #folk #floral #floraldress
