San Antonio Aguas Caliente Belts are incredible.  The bird, flower & fruit patterns that are brocaded on the weave are beautifully done on both front and back (if you can tell difference).

Usually about 1/3 of the sash belt is brocaded the other is plain base weave. Usually cotton, may contain some synthetic threads.

page last updated 07/30/2010  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!!!
