Details of the rooster pattern in the slip. There are many different patterns that are applied to the slips; it is a matter of personal preference. There is also a market for the slips within the village with some women making slips for resale. There is virtually no tourist market for these slips. |
Over top of the skirt there is always a apron with lace and pleating. Through out the town there are stores that sell these among the villagers. In other parts of Michoacan the aprons are embroidered. |
