The areas left black will be appliquéd with additional fabrics to become the bottom section of a traditional Green HMong skirt from Xiangkhouang province in Laos. Typed label affixed to the mat board beneath photograph reads, "The bottom section of the skirt is cross-stitch and appliqué[sic], done on a 5 or 6 yard long piece of black (or other color) loosely woven fabric. In some skirt designs, the cross-stitch of the bottom section follows the batik pattern of the center section. In this photo, the cross-stitch has been completed, ready for the appliqué[sic]." Handwritten inscription to the right of label reads, "Making a skirt #10 / 1984 / Lewis." Date derived from inscription on mat board recto.
