There is black velvet trim around head and arm holes th at
is somewhat worn and the neckhole has an unfinished 1.5" slit. Sides are open, can be used as poncho or stitched. At
base of armhole is repair where there was a 1" tear. There is also another
repair along bottom of blue row near where 2 panels come together. Because
of these repairs, overall condition of huipil is fair and priced
accordingly. |

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!!!
