Blouse3190/3

Blouse with reverse appliqué panels (or mola). Colourful pieces of fabric have been cut into intricate linear designs and delicately sewn onto a backing panel, creating a large fish with dense fins top and bottom and a fluked tail, another similar fish caught in its mouth. These molas make up the front and back torso of the blouse, and are nearly identical. Synthetic light pink fabric scattered with purple and orange flowers has been made into short pleated sleeves and neck with black and yellow decoration on the cuffs. Bottom hem is pleated blue fabric with large pink and yellow flowers.
