This beautiful vintage huipil from Patzún, Chimaltenango is a stunning blend of traditional techniques and modern embroidery methods, making it both meaningful and incredibly wearable. The base of the huipil is hand‑loomed, created on a traditional backstrap loom.
The collar decoration is machine‑embroidered, adding crisp floral detail and vibrant color that complements the woven stripes. Below the bust, the line that runs across the front and continues toward the hem is hand‑embroidered in the rococo technique, a raised, textured style that gives the huipil depth, dimension, and unmistakable artisan charm.
Because this huipil is open on the sides, it’s incredibly versatile and easy to wear. It drapes beautifully on all body types, making it a one‑size‑fits‑all piece. Style it as a top, a poncho, a layering piece, or even as a statement textile for cultural events, its flexibility makes it perfect year‑round.
The colors and patterns are signature Patzún: bold, warm, and full of life. This region is known for its strong textile identity, and this huipil is a perfect example of that heritage.
A wonderful choice for lovers of Maya textiles, Guatemalan embroidery, slow fashion, and collectible artisan garments.
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.
