Oaxaca - pt. 3 Dresses!

There are a variety of traditional indigenous dress styles throughout Mexico. Unfortunately, most Mexicans today prefer international modern style, rather than the traditional styles. That's understandable, as many native Mexicans are still discriminated against. Also, there are a lot of cheap hand-me-down clothes and/or asian-made clothes available; most families don't want to invest in a traditional outfit that really can't be worn to school or work where uniforms are required.

Oaxaca had the most variety of beautiful native dress styles. I'm not sure which groups used which styles. I didn't end up buying anything (many dresses were hand embroidered, so they were very costly) but did love the pictures!!!
