[<i>ˈwipil</i>] (from the Nahuatl word huīpīlli [<i>wiːˈpiːlːi]</i>) is the most common traditional garment worn by indigenous women from central Mexico to Central America. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">It is a loose-fitting tunic, generally made from two or three rectangular pieces of fabric which are then joined together with stitching, ribbons or fabric strips, with an opening for the head and, if the sides are sewn, openings for the arms. Traditional huipils, especially ceremonial ones, are usually made with fabric woven on a backstrap loom and are heavily decorated with designs woven into the fabric, embroidery, ribbons, lace and more. However, some huipils are also made from commercial fabric. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Lengths of the huipil can vary from a short blouse-like garment or long enough to reach the floor. The style of traditional huipils generally indicates the ethnicity and community of the wearer as each have their own methods of creating the fabric and decorations. Some huipils have intricate and meaningful designs. Ceremonial huipils are the most elaborate and are reserved for weddings, burials, women of high rank and even to dress the statues of saints. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">They derive from traditional garments warn by the natives of the region. The art was lost by mid 19th Century, but a modern version was rehashed, using some original patterns mixed with modern ones after World War 2. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The ceremonial huipils of the Tzotzils have maintained aspects of pre-Hispanic feather art with white feathers found on the chest and lower hem. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In Ocotepec and Cuquila in Oaxaca, which are high in the Mixtec mountains, there are huipils made of wool to combat the cold with cotton ones usually for festive occasions. </p> <h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Their origins</h3> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">The huipil has been worn by indigenous women of the Mesoamerican region (central Mexico into Central America) of both high and low social rank since well before the arrival of the Spanish to the Americas. It remains the most common female indigenous garment still in use. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">It is most often seen in the Mexican states of Chiapas, Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Campeche, Hidalgo, Michoacán (where it is called a huanengo), Veracruz and Morelos. In Central America it is most often used among the Mayas in Guatemala. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire and subsequent Spanish expansion, the huipil endured but it evolved, incorporating elements from other regions and Europe. One of the oldest known huipils in existence is the "La Malinche", named such because it was believed to have been worn by Hernán Cortés’ interpreter as it looks much like ones in depictions of her in the Lienzo de Tlaxcala and the Florentine Codex. However, carbon 14 tests date it to the 18th century. It is exceptional not only for its age but there is none like it in any collection and it is larger than usual at 120 by 140 cm. It is made of cotton with feathers, wax and gold thread. The design is dominated by an image of a double headed eagle, showing both indigenous and Spanish influence. It is part of the collection of the Museo Nacional de Antropología. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Some huipils, such as those from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec show Asian influence due to cloth brought from the Philippines. In addition, the huipil began to be worn with other garments, especially European skirts, during the colonial period. This led to changes in the garment itself and how it was used. In some cases, the huipil became shorter, to function as a kind of blouse rather than a dress. In the same region, the huipil also evolved into a long flowing and sometimes voluminous head covering which frames the face. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">To this day, the most traditional huipils are made with hand woven cloth on a back strap loom. However, the introduction of commercial fabric made this costly and many indigenous women stopped making this fabric, or making simpler versions. By the early 1800s, women began to wear undecorated huipils or embroided European style blouses. By the end of the 19th century, most Maya women had forgotten the technique of brocade weaving entirely. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The huipil endures in many indigenous communities, if not as an everyday garment, as one for ceremonies or special occasions. When a woman puts on a huipil, especially a ceremonial or very traditional one, it is a kind of ritual. She becomes the center of a symbolic world as her head passes through the neck opening. With her arms, she forms a cross and is surrounded by myth as between heaven and the underworld. </p> <h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">1900-1989</h3> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">It carried on in the countryside, unabated in a primitive style format. </p> <h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The comeback</h3> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">Guatemala, Chapapas, Belize and Yucatan retained it and wore it in public. It's use increased as time went on. Examples were found in locations including Todos Santos in Guatemala, during November 2008, Yucatán in Mexico in 1993 and Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico during the 16th of April, 2011. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Native Mexican\Guatemalan Huipil were the in thing in Mexico, with peter-pan collars added in urban Mexico in 1995-2000, V-necks for Ecuador and Chile in 2005-2009 and with scoop necks for Colombia, Panama, Ecuador and Bolivia in 2008. Colombia, Peru and Venezuela had some in the late 2000's. It was publicly worn by a woman in Tijuana, Mexico during 2005. It was also imported as a style for Texan children in 2001. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">They still occurred as children's ware in 2010, 2011 and 2012. As of 2011 they became children's ware and the term was used for any fashionably styled teenage or young adult's dress. Adults wore in in rural Guatemala in 2010. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Natives publicly ware traditional clothing in Chenalhó and Tzotzil, Chiapas, Mexico, during 2015. It was also publicly warn in Mezquital Huasteca, Mexico and Belize in 2012. It was also warn on mass by adults and children in Guatemala in 2013 and 2012. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">It is now forming the clothing norm in Guatemala and southern Mexico's native populations.The immigrant community has made it's own Americanised version in Texas as of the late 1990s and it has caught on with members of all ethnicity as children's and party wear </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Tourists bought it back to New Zealand in 2012 and the USA in 2016 as a suvinear, party were and posh wear. </p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">British websites were selling a pornographically skimpy version of it in 2016 and Cjina was selling a non-skimpy version as of 2017. </p> <h3 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">1980s school acceptance note</h3> <p data-rte-fromparser="true">Banned. </p><p /> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key 1991newworldorder:rte-parser-cache:10688 --> Loading editor Below are some commonly used wiki markup codes.
