Blouse with reverse appliqué panels (or mola). Torso is made of colourful pieces of fabric that have been cut into intricate linear and zigzag designs and delicately sewn onto a backing panel, creating geometric ‘X’ shape designs. Front and back are nearly identical. Black fabric in a herringbone weave makes up the short sleeves and neck, the openings edged in red and orange. Bottom hem is edged in blue.
