neck with very nicely finished slit opening in front, makes it easy to

Two panels are salvaged finished and other two are fringed. A used huipil in
good condition except for a significant area on the back where the weave has
pulled apart (see enlargement of left bottom picture toward the lower
portion of the huipil). I think it could be easily hidden by
re-stitching the lower back seam.

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 so
that they can cover the upper arm.
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!!! Arm hole size can be small too, but can usually be
easily enlarged.
