Help Dating Mexican Blouse, Skirt, and Shawl Set

Hello,

I’m hoping for assistance in dating this set, as well as with fabric identification of the waist and hem of the skirt, as well as the shawl.

The drawstring cotton top features intricate glass beadwork, lovely pintucking at the shoulders, and gussets under the arm.

The printed felt skirt with drawstring waist has a silk (?) band at the top, lots of sequins, and a triangulated silk (?) border.

Do you agree that the fabric at the waist and hem is silk? Also, any thoughts regarding the fabric of the shawl? And most importantly, what might be the date of this set?

Many thanks for your time!

Jennifer

 

Many thanks for your reply! I was leaning toward the 20s, too, but really wasn't sure. I also wasn't familiar with the term China Poblana - thank you! Overall the set is in great condition, though I'm tempted to soak the blouse. The white could be just a bit brighter. Is this something you've tried with your own set?

 

Yes, me too!

 

Indeed, that's spectacular.

 

Okay, thank you! I'll follow suit.
