My Pollera

Here it is! I was trying to create my Pollera ,or should I say my Pollera imitation :). It was a long rewarding process that I really enjoyed, I am thankful to all the ones that helped, my husband, my kids, my mother,and people that I not even know from Panama. Even though I am originally from Panama, this is the first time I wear this beautiful dress. The fabric for the dress was sent from Panama, and also is just the painted imitations (fabric cost $100) of the real embroidered one which can cost you from $6000.00 or more, yeap! is a very luxurious dress. I skipped the whole set of jewelry which it is beautiful as well here is an example of it:

Originally these are made with real gold, but just created this one with some imagination since I can literally walk to hobby lobby from my house.
