mexican peasant blousesSome of the most beautiful blouses and dresses found on EBAY are the Mexican Peasant blouse and dress. These garments are hand embroiderered in a rainbow variety of colors and designs. They are handmade in small villages in Mexico like Oaxaca and Puebla. They contribute to the local economy and keep many villagers in work. Each one of these blouses is completely unique- no two are exactly embroidered the same way, so any blouse or dress you may have is one of a kind. They are very reasonably priced considering the work that goes into each one. The "trick" with these garments is to find one that fits your size. Although they may be labeled small, medium, large, extra large- they do not conform to the sizes found in the USA. It is best to know the measuement in inches from underarm to underarm, the length of the garment and the width at the bottom. Then compare these measurements with your best fitting blouse or dress to get the right fit. Most EBAYERS give these measurements in their descriptions. There is one rule of thumb- they are almost always larger in size than those made in the USA.
