This item is out of stock

This post-1980 daily use huipil was hand-woven on a backstrap loom. It is of mixed cotton and synthetic threads, and of very traditional geometric designs. The designs were all added during the weaving process using supplemental weft brocading, and they are very nicely done. It consists of two panels, seemed down the center. The rows of designs in the two panels match quite well. All four of the lower panel edges are selvage-finished. Original adornment around the head-hole has been removed. The stitching under the arm-holes has been removed, so that the garment can be opened and laid flat. For some reason, these edges have been hemmed.

Measurements: 28.5 inches wide, and varying from 21 to 24 inches shoulder to hem.

Condition: Excellent, very lightly used, some very slight soil is possible, some loose threads.
