Miriam skirt

This is a true treasure in the shape of a skirt (well, on his day as an old petticoat). Miriam is an ode to handmade work, creativity and attention to detail. Look at the beautiful handcrafted, crocheted strip of flowers that runs all the way down to the bottom of the skirt. All the flowers are similar, but none exactly the same. Everything finished with a beautiful bobbin lace. This is a very old garment.

Miriam's cotton is soft and cool, perfect for the hottest days. Although, be aware of that, you'll love it so much that you'll end up wearing it with your favorite sweater in the fall as well.

Miriam has some very faint shadows of humidity (they are not stains) but given the volume of the garment they are practically imperceptible.

The rest is in perfect condition.

Length from top to bottom: 99 cm. Waist: 66 cm. Best fits for S sizes.

Model is 176 cm tall and she usually wears tops size M.

The garments we offer are all at least 70 or 80 years old, some even more than one hundred. They are all from rural Mallorca, from those dowries which someone first embroidered years ago and were later stored in a trunk and forgotten about.

They are all simple items, hand-made and mainly white. All have tiny details such as embroideries which make them extremely special. You may find two blouses which look similar, but none are exactly the same. Several are embroidered with the initials or first name of the pieces' original owner.

We have searched the island from market to market, home to home, for the most beautiful blouses and gowns you can imagine. We have found old cotton and linen. Durable, fresh and breathable fabrics which are ideal to become your standard Summer wear.

All the garments you will find here have been completely restored. The process starts at the hands of an expert embroiderer who has carefully mended any imperfections it may have suffered over time. We really want our hemstitches, embossing and loop stitching to look as good as it did on the very first day it was worn.

Next, the garments undergo a rigorous cleaning process to remove any hard staining from rust or damp. Please take into account that you may still find a loose thread or some patching or tiny staining that refuses to budge (don't worry we will tell you about it first). We believe that these slight imperfections aren't bad, in fact, they are part of the history of the piece.

We assure you that nothing makes you feel as unique as wearing a unique piece of clothing like these ones, being able to imagine who tailored it for its original owner and now for you. Where did she live? What was her story? Or even better, to imagine that maybe it was worn at a particularly important event or time in her life. This, we believe, is quite magical.

Care

Our garments have survived until today because the thread originally used to make them is so resistant. To keep them in their best condition possible, we recommend you do not wash at more than 30º, nor use fabric conditioner and only allow a medium spin. For an easier ironing, do it when the garment is still a bit wet.
