mexican dress

i was invited to it a Mexican party and decide to make a Mexican skirt and top first i made an a-line pattern it on the black fabric and only cut out three of the triangular shape to make the skirt. i then cut then out and stitched them all together  and then i made the waist and stitched it around the skirt and then i added elastic in the waist band. after that i went out and bought red, white and green ribbon and stitched it around the bottom of the skirt in the right order of the Mexican flags. i when out a bough a white top and then just went out and bought some tassels and then hand stitched it on to the tops all the way round and then did it again to make the tassels thicker. i then when out and got some red silk and made a waist band that touched the floor and the stitched pompoms on on to the edge of the silk and all the way  down.
