DescriptionMiao textiles are appreciated by many regions for their exuberant, decorative qualities. Textiles are known to have a dialogue of the cultural communication embedded within the fabric itself. The topics of communication include various materials of the culture, such as legends and songs. The full traditional costume is intended to be worn during public occasions, especially during large Miao courtship festivals. Typically made by a young woman for herself, it solidifies the wearer’s individuality within her own community during cultural events.
