This exquisite ceremonial huipil is a timeless piece of Guatemalan heritage, handwoven in the lush highlands of Cobán, Alta Verapaz. Crafted using traditional backstrap loom techniques, the body of the huipil features a beautifully airy, textured weave that’s light, breathable, and elegant in every stitch.
What truly sets this huipil apart is the delicate beige rococo embroidery that adorns the neckline and lower hem—a floral motif hand-stitched by indigenous artisans, symbolizing both femininity and celebration. This huipil is not only a piece of cultural identity but also a stunning, one-of-a-kind garment ideal for bohemian weddings, spiritual ceremonies, or beachside events.

Ethically made in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala by skilled Mayan artisans

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.
