Huipil --
Maria told me this daily use huipil was is around 10+ years old
and was made by her grandaughter, Manuela. She pointed out the "gallo"
(rooster), "estrellas" stars and "pajaritas" (small birds) finely brocaded
into the weave. Purchased from
Maria I. in 2013.
Condition: Significant bleeding of color
and some other spotting. Two selvages fine, others with some openness.
Moderate wear and a few loose threads. Good condition if bleeding doesn't
bother you, if it does, I'd call it fair.

noticeable because of light pink color. Neck opening has some wear and
huipil's base has light graying. Generally good used condition

Three panel ceremonial girl's
or small woman's huipil made on a backstrap loom. I think the base material
is not cotton, probably a synthetic thread (???). Generally very good
condition with a few loose threads on brocade.
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 so
that a portion of the huipil covers the upper arm.
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!!! Arm holes can also be small, but are usually quite easy
to enlarge.
