I bought my first nawas<\/em>, the traditional skirt and apron that the ladies of Las Moras wear.<\/p>\n

Wearing my new skirt and apron<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The skirts are full and made from a satiny material that comes in a variety of solid colors.\u00a0 On the bottom of the skirts the women attach the lista<\/em>, a beautiful collection of appliqued flowers and leaves.\u00a0 The lista is sewn on with rows and rows of red and black threads.\u00a0 Over the top of this goes a mandil<\/em>, an apron made in a similar way.<\/p>\n

Beautiful colors and patterns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the women walk, the colors can be seen far across the drab landscape.\u00a0 The skirt wooshes out with each step and the apron is usually whipped around by the breeze.\u00a0 At community gatherings pinks, flourescent yellow, oranges, and teals are mixed together into a variety of unique outfits.\u00a0 Since I normally stand out in my boring jeans and blah grey or blue T-shirts, I am happy to be able to contribute a little bit to the color of the area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
I loved this woman's blue shawl for keeping the sun off<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ladies’ reactions to my skirt was entertaining, to say the least.\u00a0 They pulled at the skirt, turned the hems over for examination, and carefully critiqued the work.\u00a0 The general consensus was that it looked good on me, probably because I’m very white…and very fat.\u00a0 I took all their compliments in stride, and answered as any good Nahuatl lady would: “Yes, I do look pretty.”<\/p>\n
