A Note from the Contributor

Maria C. Vallejo: A beautifully executed variety of embroidery stitches gives this special occasion garment an air of elegance when worn under a dark suit or a jacket; the look is now complete. The creative hands behind the blouse and the intense hours of labor may never be known by the lady who wears it. The process used to tailor, patch, mend and reinforce cloth fostered the development of sewing techniques, and the decorative possibilities of sewing led to the art of embroidery.
