Nebaj Woman's Huipil ---  The Nebaj huipil is a maze of color and design. Horses and birds and other animals are brocaded into the weave. Mix of synthetic and cotton. Single panel with selvages that have been reinforced with stitching. Condition is fair with significant wear and loose threads and one quarter size hole due to wear (could be darned closed & not noticable).  Also note difference in color or base material on two sides and some stains. Still an interesting example.

Page Updated 07/30/2010	Fitting Tips ---  Huipils were traditionally made on a loom. Thus they are made of rectangular pieces and are not intended to be a fitted garment.  The width of the garment should be considerably larger (at least 25 to 33%) than the shoulders of the wearer.  Think about room to grow too! Mayan women often put tucks in a huipil's shoulder then remove them as a child grows.  Neck and head hole openings on Huipils are often small.  Note that we can not guarantee that the neck size of a Huipil fits you and your child.  If you want to wear some huipils you may have to open the neck opening and lightly stitch it. This is especially true of Huipils that have been woven on a back-strap loom.    Please check your neck and head measurements carefully!!!
