San Pedro Petlacotla, Tlacuilotepec, Puebla, Mexico is the only village in the municipality that has a strong textile tradition . There are a number of women that continue to wear the traditional embroidered blouse, Totonacan belt and the white skirt. In this region I have found three villages which wear the same style of costume. It seems to me to be a regional dress because there is also a village in the municipality of Jalpan called Ejidos de Jalpan were the remaining twoTotonacan woman use the same attire.
