- Huipil from the Nahuatl word is the most common traditional garment worn by indigenous women from central Mexico to central America. It is a loose-fitting tunic, generally made from two or three pieces of fabric which are then joined together with stitching with an opening for the head and if the sides are sewn, opening for the arms. The length of the huipil can vary from a short blouse-like garment or long enough to reach the floor. They have different purposes as for weeding and even to dress the statues of saints.
- This Mexican Huipil Dress Tunic is known as the Amuzgo style from the Costa Chica de Guerrero, Mexico.
- The Amuzgo people also live in the southern parts of Oaxaca, and continue to make this Pre-Columbian traditional huipil.
