The Huipil is a traditional garment worn by women from central Mexico to Central America. It's a loose-fitting tunic, generally made from two or three rectangular pieces of fabric, and joined with stitching, ribbons, or fabric strips. The Huipil is often decorated with bold, colorful designs woven into the fabric, embroidery, ribbons, lace, and more. #mre #fashion #cincodemayo

Flor de Piña. Región Papaloapan, Oaxaca

This striking huipil comes from the Chinantec region in the north of Oaxaca.The double-headed bird design is typical of huipiles from Tlacoazintepec, but some other designs resemble those used in Ojitlan and Tepetotutla. So, if anybody knows for certain where this was made, please let me know. Thanks
