San Antonio Aguas Caliente Girl's or Small Woman's Huipil --- Finely woven huipil of cotton base material in 2 back-strap loomed panels. The huipil has finely brocaded birds and flowers that appear equally fine on front and back side of the panel. Note the shoulder has nice flower design.
The huipil was designed to be let out as a young woman grow. You can see a slight bit darker color where pleats have already been let out. As woven, the huipil is about four inches wider than the dimensions listed below. If you open further there might be some coloration difference due to sun fading. The neckline has been nicely finished and reinforced..
Condition: Good used condition. The huipil shows light fading and wear and a few loose threads. Sides seams closed (could be easily opened to wear as a pancho). Panels loosely hemmed. Note comments above about pleats and slight color differential.
Huipil Dimensions:
- Width: 19-16 inches
- Length: 13 inches
- Neck: 5 inches wide by 3 inches deep, style: Rectangular
* 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.
