San Domingo Xenacoj ---   Nice designs in back strap loomed 2-panel huipil. Mostly cotton. Be sure to look at close-up of traditional bird/serpent designs in main panels and  quetzal  designs in shoulder. Randa  holds the two panels together.  Neck is partially finished (has been opened as child grew) in uneven stitch that need repairs. Selvage ends. Sides are open so can be worn as poncho or easily stitched to close.  Some fairly even fading of the base material, a few loose threads and wear along the selvage.  It is a used child huipil that is in fairly good shape and priced accordingly.

Be sure to look at close-up of traditional bird/serpent designs and hand embroidered "pitcher" randa that holds the two panels together.  Selvage ends of panels are somewhat different lengths with some looseness (not bad).

   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!!!

Our Guarantee: We want you to be completely satisfied with our products.   If you are not, notify us within 30 days and return the item.  Depending on your choice we will refund your money (minus original cost of shipping) or give you a credit on another item.
