The origin of this finely embroidered blouse is not known to me. I have seen similar blouses that are attributed to Ometepec, Guerrero.

The embroidered clothing has been a very coveted form of clothing which the women of Pakistan like very much. The SME is a major source of supply for these kind of clothing and which made at various in-house facilities and where the workers prepare these stuff. The development of clothing involves great hardship and very minutely the activity is performed by the KARIGARS (skilled workers) of this industry.
I decided not to use the pleated panel I'd made as it was too 3D (it became a lavender bag for my grandmother instead). I find the square box at the front neckline of this pattern a bit weird, though, and I feel like decorating it makes sense of it a bit more (also, it's not graded, there's a single pattern piece for all sizes, so on the smaller sizes - this is a 10 - it looks particularly big). I forgot to adjust for the smaller seam allowance on the neck binding, so my embroidery annoyingly doesn't come all the way up the edge, but I think it looks OK. That vertical stitch at the bottom LH corner was meant to be in the seam allowance, oops. (And obviously the plan is that those pink dot markings will wash out...)
These pretty blouses were made in the town of San Jose del Progreso south of the city of Oaxaca Mexico. The woman who was selling the blouses at the holiday crafts market invited me to visit her in her community to see how the needlework is done. I hope to go out to San Jose this week.
Dress by John Galliano House of Dior, autumn/winter 1998–99 haute couture
Pink silk jacquard and black silk satin embroidered with polychrome silk thread.
Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.
