----- this 2-panel huipil was probably made on a treadle-loom. The huipil
has a traditional red creya or stripe across its shoulders. It copies a
somewhat older style with brown base, but like
most Comalapa huipils it is made of a variety of primarily synthetic
(acrylic?) thread. The panel edges are nicely hemmed. In generally good
condition with some loose threads and fading. It is shown on a friend of
mine who is probably a woman's size 9 or 10.

----- This pretty 2-panel huipil with brocaded doves and flowers was
probably made on a treadle-loom. Like most Comalapa huipils it is made of a variety of primarily synthetic (acrylic?)
thread. The panel edges are hemmed on one side and open fringe on
other. Decoration around neck is machine embroidered. Sides of huipil have been opened
for display (could easily be stitched closed). The condition is generally
good with a some loose threads and light wear on some of the brocading.

-----
Hand-woven on a backstrap loom in two panels, with the designs added using
supplemental weft brocading. All four edges of each panel are hemmed. Threads used are a combination
of cotton and cotton/synthetic mix. Some wear along edge where two panels
have been joined on one side. Other side has zippered opening for nursing.
As with many Comolapa huipils, some looseness weaving along lower edge.
Nicely finished neck opening that actually fits over my head. Sides of
huipil have been opened for display (could easily be stitched closed). In
generally good 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!!!
