Mexican traditional costume surprised me

Mexican traditional costume surprised me with its embroidery – simple but very cute. The clothing itself is simple and modest, too. I’ve always thought about Mexican garments as bright, festive, and passionate ones. This is new to me. What about you? What do you think about Mexican folk dress?
