Three panelled every day Huipil woven on a back strap loom. The warp is woven with red and white stripes. Notice the four selvedge ends on the panels. The square neckline is cut out and decorated with hand embroidered designs. This special piece is only worn during harvest season in the Pacific Coastline of Guatemala, therefore the designs are different than the traditional every day Huipil from Ildefonso. All the colours are chemical dyes. Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
