This is an upper garment made using the traditional colored indigo dyeing technique of the **Miao people (苗族) of China**. The deep base color, primarily indigo, is overlaid with patterns composed of red, yellow, green, white, and other colored threads, creating a strong rhythm and a sense of prayerful order across the entire garment. The structured patterns on the front center are not merely decorative, but rather a symbolic arrangement representing protection, blessings, and a worldview. The subtle variations in the lines, a result of the handwork, and the very time spent layering, sewing, and dyeing the fabric are all etched into this single garment. This antique textile costume has a strong presence, whether worn, hung on a wall, displayed, used for photography, or as part of a collection. It is a piece that we highly recommend to those who appreciate ethnic textiles and folk crafts. ■ Recommended Points □ Traditional colored indigo dyeing of the Miao people □ One-of-a-kind, entirely handmade □ Beautiful pattern composition of the ethnic costume □ Value as a folk craft and folk art □ Suitable for wearing, viewing, and display ■ Important Notes (Please read carefully) □ The color may appear slightly different from the actual item due to lighting conditions in the photos. □ As this is an antique textile and a handmade item, there may be signs of wear and tear, color unevenness, and slight variations in stitching due to aging. □ Please purchase only if you understand the characteristics of ethnic costumes and vintage fabrics.
