Santiago Atitlan Women's Huipil - Light lavender cotton base material with black and darker lavender (mauve?) stripes woven into the fabric. The top portion of the huipil has interesting cross stripe design of lavender and black "dots" with a speck of metallic gold in the center. The flowers are hand embroidered with some metallic thread. Ends of panels are hemmed on one side - other side I'm not sure whether nicely cut or loose selvage (I would suggest hemming). Could be a fun huipil to wear.
Condition: In fairly good condition. The main problem is the metallic gold thread is worn in places and thus there a some loose threads.
2013: Purchased from Dolores. The huipil of a friend of hers, Ana Men.
Huipil Dimensions:
- Width: 29.5nches
- Length: 27.5 inches
- Neck: 7 inches wide by 3.5 inches deep. Fits over my 22" head.
* Remember the huipil's width should be at least 1.5 to 2 times your shoulders width, to allow for fitting your frame and to cover part of your upper arms.
