Product Description
Blue San Lucas woman's huipil measuring 31 inches wide and 26 inches long
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. Two of the lower edges are roughly selvage-finished, and two have warp fringes. Original adornment around the head-hole is machine embroidery, and is retained. The stitching under the arm-holes, which makes this a usable garment, has been removed.
