Nebaj Woman's Huipil
---
The Nebaj huipil is a maze of color and design. Horses and birds and other
animals are brocaded into the weave. Mix of synthetic and cotton. Single
panel with selvages that have been reinforced with stitching. Condition is
fair with significant wear and loose threads and one quarter size hole due
to wear (could be darned closed & not noticable). Also note
difference in color or base material on two sides and some stains. Still an
interesting example. |

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!!!
