<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 319540, member: 2844&quot;]As far as I know the huipil is rectangular in shape with slits for the arms, no actual sleeves.</p><p>Mexican embroidery is usually multi-coloured, floral, on thin white cotton. The peacock motif, introduced by the Spanish, is sometimes seen, as are deer, but those are usually crowded by luscious flowers.</p><p>I think this is an Eastern European chemise or shift dress, the base garment of most Greek, Balkan and other Eastern European folk costumes.</p><p>The delicate red embroidery on heavy textile is also seen in that region, as are the tassel fringes. The motifs, peacocks, deer, tree of life, and the way they are embroidered, look Russian or Ukrainian to me.</p><p>Maybe [USER=3724]@Natasha[/USER] recognizes this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
