    Description

    Vintage 1970's? Mexican? (this is similar to others whose origins I know first hand) handmade white cotton huipil, beautifully made, with embroidered floral borders that edge the square neckline and the hem, and pintuck detailing at the sleeves and hem. The embroidered motifs feature bold red flowers with yellow floral discs at each center embellished with lilting green vines. The middle of the body of each side of the dress has some yellow stain spots and there is some yellowing on the shoulder folds--see photos. Save for these flaws, the huipil is in very good pre-owned, vintage condition--the fabric is quite crisp and all elements are intact.
