In the prior photo showing the huipil from Jamiltepec, I mentioned that the fabric used to make the huipil was similar to the cloth that is woven for the 2 lienzo skirts made in the town. Here is an example of this kind of skirt to show you the similarity.

Huipil Mexico Oaxaca

Teyacapan posted a photo:

This hand woven cotton huipil was made for sale by a Mixtec weaver from Jamiltepec, Oaxaca. The huipil is quite unusual and not like huipiles worn in the community (which are worn like a shawl and not as a tunic). This huipil is made from two lienzos or webs of woven cloth, and the cloth with its brocaded designs resembles a Jamiltepec wrap skirt.

This print shows the beautiful huipiles made and worn by the Chinantec women of San Felipe Usila, Oaxaca, Mexico. It is from the portfolio "El Traje Indigena en Mexico" by Teresa Castello Yturbide and Carlota Mapelli Mozzi. Today the talented weavers of Usila weave huipiles in styles of other Chinantec villages (e.g. Tepetotutla, Valle Nacional, and Tlacoazintepec) as well as traditional huipiles of Usila

May 8. 2013 is World Red Cross Day. This wooden model of a Mexican Cruz Roja ambulance was made in Santiago Tenango, Oaxaca, Mexico. Miniature trucks are sold by the wood workers along the autopista north of Huitzo, Oaxaca. It's fun to go shopping at 80 MPH. The models are also sold along the old Oaxaca highway at La Carbonera.
