This item is out of stock

This post-1980 daily use huipil was hand-woven on a backstrap loom. The foundation fabric is cotton, of multi-colored stripes. The colorful designs were added during the weaving process using the technique of supplemental-weft brocading. They were made using mish cotton and polished cotton. The huipil consists of two panels, seemed down the center. All lower edges are cut and hemmed. The adornment around the head- and arm-holes is retained. The side stitching, which makes the huipil into a finished garment to be used, has been removed.

Measurements: 30 inches wide, and 24 inches long, more or less, from shoulder to hem. The huipil is the same design both front and back.

Condition: Very Good, used, with some loose threads and light soil possible.
