Cinco de Mayo is coming up on Thursday, so I had friends and family over this past weekend for tacos, margaritas, and *almost* too much sunshine. It was the perfect opportunity to wear something inspired by Mexico, and since I had recently visited San Miguel de Allende and created this Otomi print, I decided to make this fun dress!
I love all sorts of festive, Mexican-inspired clothing and embroideries, but with this dress I wanted to give a more sophisticated vibe. I absolutely love Mara Hoffman and her designs, so I decided to mimic this dress and create a bold and fitted colored look of my own. I’ve realized that blank and white stripes in any form are my favorite way to accessorize a look, so making a belt out of varied black and white stripes was an obvious choice to define the waist of the dress.
You can buy the fabric here on Spoonflower if you are looking to make any fun festive table runners, pillows or clothing!
