Chichicastenango - Fun traditional designs in this girl's used huipil in fair+ condition (quite good for a white child's huipil).  Some graying and stains on white background and openness around the selvage of the hand-woven panels. I believe the white background is cotton with a variety of threads types in the brocaded design. A good example of a Chichi child's huipil that is wearable, but not perfect

Girl's Huipil

Width:  24"
Length:  20"
Neck: 4"w,2"d,  .5" unfinished  slit.
Weight:  oz.

Price:  $30.00

 

Chichicastenango -  Fun bright color, with variation in the color dye of the threads used in the panels when they were woven.   Sun design around the neck done in velvet rather than usual embroidered style. My guess is that this huipil is a least 10 year older than many of the other Chichi huipils I have (probably from 1960's or so).  Colorful for a wall in a child's room. An intact but worn child's huipil.  Loose threads  and looseness in the lower selvages as well as some spotting.

Chichicastenango, Interesting mix of  traditional geometric design and flowers in this  newer-style brocaded huipil. Black-strap loomed, traditional 3-panel construction with black background probably of cotton threads. Selvages on all panels.

Nice randa between panels. Good to very good used condition.

 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!!!

Our Guarantee: We want you to be completely satisfied with our products.   If you are not, notify us within 30 days and return the item.  Depending on your choice we will refund your money (minus original cost of shipping) or give you a credit on another item.
