Huipil from Aguacatan #146
Huipil with a design from the region of Aguacatan
Aguacatan
Exquisite satin design from the region of Aguacatan. This beautiful huipil is highly influenced by the Mexican style of huipil with a white background and lots of orange and red colors. This huipil measures 33″ across the shoulders, 23″ from the neckline to the bottom edges. The neck opening is round and measures 6″ in diameter. The sides have been stitched closed to create armholes.
This white satin huipil is elegant with its hand-embroidered design around the collar and sleeves in brilliant colors of red, yellow, and orange accented with appliqué and machine stitching throughout the bodice and finished with a delicate lace trim around the bottom edge.
This unique huipil is in excellent used condition, with no signs of wear.
