San Christobol Totonicapan - Beautiful hand embroidery on commercial cloth.
Some loose threads in embroidery and unfinished slit in neck. Original
pleats remain in huipil, but some associated threads are getting loose. The
huipil would be wider if pleats are removed. Beautiful embroidery and color.
A used huipil in generally good condition.
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!!!
