   Chichicastenango --- Girl's traditional 3-panel huipil handwoven on backstrap loom with geometric designs. Traditional sun neck with velvet edge and slit in good shape. ;Even wear on brocade that overall is in good shape. Base material shows some spotting and uneven fading, especially on one side panel where differential fading between lots of thread give a bit of a striped appearance and their is light spotting.  Because of that I'd probably call it in fair condition rather than good.

Weight: 

Price:  $35



   Chichicastenango --- Nice geometric design on this girl's or small woman's 3- panel huipil. All panel ends are selvage finished, three somewhat loose, 3 tight. I believe the black base material is probably acrylic and the brocade a variety of thread types.  Nice velvet finishing in excellent condition around the traditional "sun" neckline.  Brocade in very good condition with a few loose threads. Black base in generally good condition except at very bottom of panel near selvage where a couple spots of wax or similar material are found (see photo at left. If I get them out price may go up a bit). Sides are open so can wear as poncho, or seam close if you prefer.  Hard to find this size in this good used condition. Would be nice to wear.

Weight: 

Price:  $35



   Chichicastenango --- Striking double-headed eagle and geometric designes woven into this three panel used huipil.  Traditional sun neckline has some wear of the velvet edge. The panel ends are selvage finished, but one of the center panels ends is quite loose. Brocade has a little even wear, but generally good condition. Overall condition I'd call fair primarily because there is some wear and uneven fading and spotting of the black base material (check pictures) especially near the selvage edges and under the floral rosettes on one of the side panels.

  Chichicastenango, --- Bouquet of flowers on this newer-style brocaded woman's huipil loomed, traditional 3-panel construction with black background (I am unsure if acrylic or cotton).  There is some mostly even sun fading of black which when faded has a brownish tinge. In one 2" or so strip of the base material, the fading to brown/black is more pronounced (see picture on left - presumably the weaver used black thread, that faded differentially).  Selvages on all panels with some looseness along bottom of  several of the selvages.  If wanted to wear - I would hem one side. Traditional sun design embroidered around head hole with nicely finished slit. Good used condition with a few loose threads and the loose selvages and fading mentioned above.

  Chichicastenango --- Unusual flowered neckline on this Chichi huipil was finely embroidered by machine with nice velvet edging.  Bold Peacock and flowers brocaded into the weave. Three panels are of uneven length and are selvage finished with some looseness in three of the panels, including one center panel with "hose-like" runs.  Could easily be hemmed if you want even lengths.  Sides are open so can wear as poncho, or seam close if you prefer. One of side panels has black threads that have faded slightly differently and appear very dark brown rather than black (look at picture - not very noticeable). An interesting used huipil with great designs and in moderately good shape -- does have some fading and a few loose threads.

With that exception in generally good condition with a few loose threads.

  Chichicastenango --- An interesting floral design on this newer-style 3-panel huipil that was woven on a back-strap loom. The randa-like geometric designs are actually part of the brocaded weaver. Traditional sun design.  Panel edges are selvage finished with some looseness on three of the panels. The black base material is sun-faded on the reverse side to a rich brown, indicating the owner may have protected it, by wearing in reverse side out much of the time.  Sides are open so can wear as poncho, or seam close if you prefer.

  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. Fading and some wear of the base material near the selvages.  The back side is actually lighter than the front - its my hunch that the weaver was very proud of this huipil and wore it reversed most of the time to protect it from sun and wear.   Traditional sun design embroidered around head hole with nice finished slit. 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!!!
