Dong Women’s Black Satin Blouse with Embroidered Hem Front

With black satin as the outer fabric and cotton tabby with blue patterns as lining for the main body and bright green satin for the cuffs, this blouse is heavily embellished on the central placket and the cuffs with multi-layer inlaid cloth and samite strips and wide hems decorated with motifs created by the horsetail hair embroidery, a unique ethnic handicraft that applies horsetail hair as the most important material in embroidery. In comparison, the other parts of this garment is in a dark palette with minimal embellishment, serving as a foil to the relief-like patterns of horsetail hair embroidery that are of complicated forms and in bright colors.
