Description

THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE HUIPILE OR BLOUSE MADE BY AN INDIGENOUS GUATEMALAN LADY ( A DESCENDANT OF THE MAYA)
FROM THE CHICHICASTENANGO REGION.
IT IS  IN EXCELLENT CONDITION- MULTI - COLORED ON A MAROON BASE  AND COVERED WITH LARGE FLOWERS.
PLEASE ZOOM IN TO SEE CLOSELY.
THIS LOVELY HANDMADE GARMENT  IS OLD STYLE WITH THE SOFT BLACK FABRIC NECKLINE AND  DECORATIVE PINK/PURPLE STITCHERY AROUND THE NECK. THE SIDES ARE STITCHED UP ALSO.
THE FRONT IS LONGER AS IT IS INTENDED TO BE TUCKED INTO THE CORTE OR SKIRT.
THESE OLD STYLE HUIPILES ARE HARD TO FIND AS MANY OF THE OLDER HUIPILES ARE RECYCLED INTO PURSES, NOTEBOOKS OR OTHER DECORATIVE ITEMS.
MEASURING FROM ONE ARM OPENING, GOING ACROSS THE BACK TO THE OTHER ARM OPENING IS 33 1/2".
VERTICALLY, FROM THE TOP OF THE SHOULDER TO THE BASE IS 30 1/2" IN THE MIDDLE OR 27" ON THE SIDE OF THE FRONT.
THE  GARMENT WEIGHT IS A LITTLE HEAVIER THAN USUAL DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF EMBROIDERY BUT SMOOTH TO THE TOUCH- ALL COTTON.
THE TOPS OF THE ARMS ARE COVERED WITH EMBROIDERY, AS SHOWN.
THERE IS A SLIGHT VARIATION IN THE MAROON COLOR BUT NOTHING THAT TAKES AWAY FROM ITS BEAUTY.
THERE ARE MANY THREADS ON THE INSIDE- ALL JUST A PART OF THE HANDWORK.
THIS IS A LOVELY PIECE OF VINTAGE GUATEMALAN WEAVING IN BEAUTIFUL COLORS AND SUPERIOR QUALITY AS REGARDS TOTAL AMOUNT OF DESIGN AND AGE.
