Tactic #114

Tactic

Very lovely pink and black huipil from the Tactic region of Guatemala.

This simple yet elegant huipil measures 27″ wide across the shoulders, 25” from the shoulders to the bottom hem, and the collar is diamond shaped and each of the four sides measures 4 ¾”. The sides along the shoulders have been gathered to make the bodice narrower. The sides have been stitched to create sleeve openings. The stitching of both of these can be easily removed.

The huipil is woven on a medium weight black cotton background with various shades of pink in the zigzag pattern representing the mountains and rivers. The lower section of the huipil has an added section of soft dark-gray cotton fabric to extend the length of the huipil for ease of tucking into the corte (skirt). This can be easily removed.

This huipil is in good used condition, with a few signs of wear including a few loose or missing threads.
