The Textiles of Mexico have a long history.

The making of fibers, cloth and other textile goods has existed in the country since at least 1400 BCE. 

I have a passion for Mexican color, textures and patterns -as seen in my clothes, home and my art.

I wanted to make my dress to represent the Mexican culture I love.

I made my dress from raw silk fabric and I added a beautiful emerald embroidered belt from Oaxaca,Mexico to the top part of the 

dress and I wore a emerald silk rebozo to our Sembradores de Amistad de Corpus Christi Holiday Gala. 

All items from Mexico that I’m wearing are handcrafts and produced by indigenous people, whose communities are concentrated in the center and south of the country in states such as Mexico State, Oaxaca and Chiapas. The textile industry remains important to the economy of Mexico although it has suffered setback due to items made in China and Vietnam.
