Corte

Beautiful woven corte, or mayan skirt; heavy weight, multi-tone blue design with beautiful accent colors. The corte is a wrap-around skirt that consists of a cut of cloth usually joined to form a tube into which the woman steps. Excess material is wrapped around the body and folded at the waist in pleats, and tied with a faja (belt).

This corte measures 42 1/2″ wide and 50″ long (doubled). Cortes are sewn together to make a tube. This corte has the opening at the long sides as shown in the picture of the corte hanging. If the stitching joining the sides of the tube were removed, this fabric would measure approximately 42 1/2″ by 100″ laid out flat.

This corte is simple in its design and is accented with a stripe of brilliant colors of blue, purple, yellow, pink, red and green which runs the full length of the fabric and another stripe that runs across the fabric. This heavier fabric is like new and crisp. Fabric from cortes can be used in a variety of ways, such as table covers, bed covers, curtains, throw pillows, etc.

This corte is in excellent used condition, with almost no sign of wear.
