The Making of Mariana - what to wear

In Happy Birthday Josefina, the book, we are introduced to her Friend Mariana. Mariana is a Pueblo Indian. Girls from the Pueblo families wore Manta's. A knee length one shoulder dress.

The Manta (the darker coloured piece of clothing) was worn from the right shoulder, her head is on backwards here.

But in the rest of the book appears to be on the right way


With the influence of the Missionaries the Pueblo Indian women wore camisa's under their Manta
 
so...
I got her one. It's sleeves are shorter than the pictures in the book, but so are Josefina's.
 
 
Now she just needs a Manta and some deerskin shoes.
