Cundinamarca’s Female farmer attire

Cundinamarca during the arrival of the Spanish was inhabit by the Muisca people, which were skilled weavers with cotton and other fiber, manufacturing chumbes and skirt like clothes, which would later become the kerchiefs and skirts worn by the mix race population born from the conquest by the Spanish, which changed the traditional clothing to those of european origin and would mark the start of regional difference in Colombia based on mix races traits.

The female farmer attire from Cundinamarca consists of a blouse with colorful embroidery and frills around the neck and sleeves. The skirt was woven outside of the house by more experienced weavers, who were able to decorate the skirt with hand sewn ornaments and embroidery. A liquira or kerchief was used around the neck during colder times of day, similar to precolonial clothing practices .
