DescriptionMiao girls learn to make textiles as early as six years old. By the time a girl reaches the marriageable age of sixteen, she will possess the skills to make clothing and textiles needed for herself and her family throughout life. These pants are in the style of the Shidong Township. Pants were sometimes worn as part of a girl’s festive outfit, specifically underneath skirts.On View
