thread_title: Untitled

message: I would like to add to this article is the role that politics and economics both have in determining a woman’s role in the textile industry. There are significantly more women in the textile industry, creating these traditional garments than there are men in the business. I would like to add a section that would respond to why that is. Furthermore, I think a section dedicated to examining how the politics behind a woman’s dress choice influences the textiles and garments produced. In my research, I have come across many sources that mentioned the self-esteem and self-perception of women in Mexico. Many sources have agreed that violence and other social causes play a part in how women see themselves; because of this, women in Mexico choose to wear traditional dress that helps to make them feel better about the way they see themselves and the way they assume the rest of society see them as well. I would also like to talk about the significance and impact of wartime textiles and garments and how they have influenced the traditional textiles used today. The article touches on how certain clothing garments came to be today, however, I would like to expand on these ideas and include the significance of the patterns, embroider to the women’s fashion.

thread_title: Peer Revision of Potential Improvements

message: You have improved your article substantially since the last time I read it. Well done! You are using the proper encyclopedic tone and offer many examples and factual information that really makes this article interesting. You added a lot to the lead of this article, but make sure you are still citing as much as you can. You could also try to insert some links throughout to other Wikipedia articles. I think that this helps build credibility. Are there pages for the Tilma and rebozo, or the different tribes that you can link to? Also, do you plan on adding a picture, either one of your own or from Wikimedia Commons? I hope my suggestions help! Maya12345 (talk) 14:26, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
