The traditional women's clothing uses a wide combination of techniques. One outfit will include appliqué, reverse appliqué, cross stitch, pompoms, tassels and minute embroidery stitches.
To create a traditional skirt, a heavily embroidered bottom edge of cotton hopsack is then attached to the strip of batik. This section uses ribbons, appliqué and cross stitch to create a heavily textured pattern in bright colours, usually red, orange and yellow on black. The skirt is then hand pleated, using 6m of the fully embroidered cloth.
The double spiral of the red Eyemask is created using reverse appliqué. This design and technique are specialties of the White Hmong. Two different colours of fabric are tacked together and the double spiral design is cut out of top piece. The artist works around the cut edge using a tiny blind stitch that leaves the bottom fabric showing through but no visible stitching.
The starburst pattern of the green Eyemask is made by the Green Hmong. The technique is a normal appliqué with the cloth pattern built up over a background fabric and the edges blind stitched under. The finishing touch is a series of tiny top stitches tacking down the center of the design.
