    Description

    Here is the second of three circa 1980 cotton San Lucas Toliman huipils I acquired in the mid-1980s from a friend who went to the source. All are in fabulous condition and were recently dry cleaned (tag is attached). I will be happy to combine shipping.
    This red one measures 22" wide by 25" long. The elaborate embroidery is vivid and intact and includes some silver metallic thread in the horizontal band. While the velvet trim on these vintage garments is often worn off, the pile of the black velvet banding is substantially intact - please zoom in for a good look. Unusual, but here's another sewn-in tag. BTW this huipil weighs a little more than the others, hence the slight bump in shipping.
    All questions will be quickly and cheerfully answered. Thank you for looking at my listings.
