This Huipil is woven with a green back ground and half of it has an intensive red background. The only decoration is a delicate white and indigo tie dye weft stripes that can be notice from a distance and form several rhombuses figures. Both panels are joined in the middle. The round neckline is cut out. All the colours are chemical dyes, except for the indigo.Please notice that the price includes FREE USPS Shipping!
