Lovely example of a China Minority people's costume for a little child. Probably Miao.
This apron, worn over a shirt, is extensively embroidered in a fine stitch.
The wide flair of the skirt segment (119cm), created by dozens of tiny close pleats, is similar to the flower skirt of the Miao people.
Completely handstitched.
Thick cotton base and silk embroidery.
