down the full length of the shirt. A design is
embroidered on them. White Hmong women would
wrap a solid-white pleated skirt around them, leaving
a split where the fabric meets at the front.
As for the woman's head wrap, white Hmong
like to wind their hair into a bun toward the front of
the head and wrap it with an embroidered black
cloth around the head. These items would be made
of silver and decorated with silver coins of varying
sizes, both triangular and circular in shape.
Women Dressing
Shirts are made from soft felt.
The colors of choice have been
dark blue or black, but these
days more variations in color are
beginning to be seen.
