This ceremonial use huipil was hand-woven on a backstrap loom. The foundation is 100% white cotton, as is traditionally used for ceremonial huipiles. The designs were all added after the weaving, using needle embroidery; the threads are synthetic intended to imitate silk. The garment consists of two panels, seemed down the center. All four of the lower panel edges are selvage-finished. Original adornment around the head-hole is retained. The stitching under the arm-holes, which makes this a usable garment, has been retained.

Measurements: 34 inches wide, and 21 inches shoulder to hem.

Condition: Very Good, lightly used, some very slight soil is possible with a few soil spots as seen in the photos, some loose threads.
