Huipil (pronounced wee-peel) is the Spanish word for the traditional blouses worn by Mayan women for centuries. They are still prominent in Guatemalan and a few other Latin American cultures today. The huipil is the most prevalent part of a woman’s traditional dress and is of great cultural significance to the Mayans. The weave or design of each huipil can identify the village she is from and is a work of art.
