Huipil

A huipil is a traditional garment worn by Indigenous women in Central America, particularly Mexico and Guatemala. It is a rectangular or square piece of woven fabric, often decorated with intricate embroidery, symbols, and bright colors that reflect cultural identity and community heritage. The huipil is typically worn over a blouse and skirt and can vary in style, design, and significance depending on the region and the wearer's age or social status. It serves not only as clothing but also as a meaningful expression of cultural pride, history, and personal or communal symbolism.
