Patzicia
- Single panel infant's huipil. Made on backstrap
loom. Nice selvage edges on panels. Light wear around neck and some loose
threads. Otherwise in very good shape for a child's huipil.
Patzicia
- Very unusual child's huipil from Patzicia, 2 back-strap loomed panels
measuring 18" by 12". Base material is of fine polished
cotton with very nicely selvage-finished hems. Huipil is heavily
decorated using supplemental weft brocading. Must have been made to
be used only for special occasions. Usually children's huipils
from this village are sparsely decorated or plain. This is in
excellent condition. Sides seams are open so can be used as a poncho
or easily seamed together.
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!!!
