San Domingo Xenacoj ---
Nice designs in back strap loomed 2-panel huipil. Mostly cotton. Be sure to
look at close-up of traditional bird/serpent designs in main panels and
quetzal designs in shoulder. Randa holds the two panels
together. Neck is partially finished (has been opened as child grew)
in uneven stitch that need repairs. Selvage ends. Sides are open so can be
worn as poncho or easily stitched to close. Some fairly even fading of
the base material, a few loose threads and wear along the selvage. It
is a used child huipil that is in fairly good shape and priced accordingly.

Fitting
Tips --- Huipils were traditionally made on a loom. Thus they are made of rectangular pieces
and are not intended to be a fitted garment. The width of the garment should be
considerably larger (at least 25 to 33%) than the shoulders of the wearer.
Think about room to grow too! Mayan women often put tucks in a huipil's shoulder
then remove them as a child grows.
Neck and head hole openings
on Huipils are often small. Note that we can not
guarantee that the neck size of a Huipil fits you and your child.
If you want to wear some huipils you may have to open the neck opening and
lightly stitch it. This is especially true of
Huipils that have been woven on a back-strap
loom. Please check your neck and head measurements
carefully!!!
