This item is in stock

This post-1980 daily use huipil was hand-woven on a backstrap loom. The foundation fabric is white cotton. The large geometric designs were added during the weaving process using the technique of supplemental-weft brocading. All brocading is of artificial silk orlon threads. The huipil consists of three panels, seemed at the edges to form the garment. All of the lower edges are selvage-finished. The adornment around the head- and arm-holes is retained. The side stitching, which makes the huipil into a finished garment to be used, is still present.

Measurements: 29 inches wide across the top, 31 inches wide across the bottom, and 25-26 inches, more or less, shoulder to hem in the back and in the front.

Condition: Very Good, lightly used, some very slight soil is possible. The red artificial silk color has run during many washings. This is considered to be an attractive and desirable trait by the Mayan weaver.
