These blouses are iconic of Oaxaca. The vast majority made now are machine embroidered and do not compare to the one in this listing. This one is in excellent good vintage condition. Such a gorgeous floral motif on the traditional soft velvet that is no longer used.

This one has these measurements:
Chest 24" across
Length 21"

It is a size Small.

Make lovely wall hangings.

Both sides are embroidered with the same pattern.

The last trip to Oaxaca and the Istmo where these are made turned up very few of these old hand embroidered huipiles. I had known that they were hard to come by but not realized how nearly impossible they are to find now. So, this may be it! They are treasures.

If you are interested google Tehuana culture as it is fascinating. A matriarchal society where the feminine ideal is a strong woman of some girth! It is common in the Istmo of Mexico to see these huipiles worn proudly displaying a big beautiful belly beneath.
