This classic Cobán huipil from Alta Verapaz is one of the most breathable, lightweight, and versatile garments in traditional Guatemalan fashion. Woven in the iconic Cobán style, it features a soft white base with silk‑like embroidery in shades of blue, turquoise, purple, and black. The floral and geometric motifs are stitched in circular and linear patterns, creating a detailed neckline that stands out beautifully against the airy textile.
The weave is light, fresh, and semi‑open, making the huipil perfect for warm weather and ideal for layering. Its relaxed, flowy silhouette allows it to be worn in multiple ways — truly one of the most versatile huipiles you can own. You can use it as a cover‑up, a breastfeeding top, a poncho‑style layer, or pair it over a turtleneck or fitted shirt for cooler days. It also works beautifully over swimsuits, adding cultural elegance to beachwear.
Designed to be one size, it drapes comfortably on different body types and transitions effortlessly between casual, beach, and everyday outfits.
Find Your Perfect Fit
Our Mayan tops are handcrafted using traditional weaving techniques, resulting in a beautiful, relaxed silhouette. Because these pieces do not follow standard factory sizing, we provide two ways to ensure you find the perfect fit.
1. Measure Your Body
Compare your total body circumference to the chart below to find your equivalent US Size.
| US Size (Number) | Fits Bust (Total Circumference) | Best For Letter Size |
| 0 – 2 | 32" – 33" | Extra Small (XS) |
| 4 – 6 | 34" – 35" | Small (S) |
| 8 – 10 | 36" – 37" | Medium (M) |
| 12 – 14 | 38" – 40" | Large (L) |
| 16 – 18 | 41" – 43" | Extra Large (XL) |
| 18 – 20 | 44" – 46" | 2XL / 1X |
2. The "Flat Lay" Method (Recommended)
The easiest way to know how a top will drape is to measure a shirt you already love.
-
Lay your favorite non-stretch top flat on a table.
-
Measure across the chest from armpit to armpit (this is the Flat Width).
-
Compare that number to the "Flat Width" listed in our product details.
Note on Handmade Items: Since each piece is individually handwoven, please allow for a slight variation of 0.5" to 1" in measurements. This uniqueness is part of the charm of artisanal textiles!
Why "Flat Width" Matters
If our Mayan top has a Flat Width of 22", it has a Total Circumference of 44".
-
If your bust is 36", this top will have a beautiful, oversized look with plenty of room.
-
If your bust is 42", this top will provide a more tailored, standard fit.
