Evelyn Embroidered Top - White, Blue, Orange

The Evelyn Top (Huipil) is made of soft, natural cotton with a luxurious hand. The embroidery is so fine it reads almost like jewelry.

At its core, the huipil is a rectangle — but on the body, that simple geometry becomes a soft, considered drape. This isn't incidental. Traditionally, the huipil was designed to live with a woman through every stage of her life — loose enough to move with her through motherhood and the years beyond, a garment meant to adapt to the body rather than the other way around.

Belted at the waist, or worn loose over trousers or a skirt — the Evelyn is made to move with you.

Fit

See sizing image for full fit details. The huipil's traditional rectangular cut is intentional — designed to drape and adjust to the body rather than fit it exactly, a hallmark of its history rather than a sizing inconsistency.

Lark's note

"Historically, the huipil was worn belted at the waist with a wraparound skirt. I like to wear mine over trousers for a loose, flowy look. Lately I've also started wearing it over a simple slip dress — almost like an overlay, covering the shoulders and adding a layer of texture. The embroidery is detailed enough that all you need is simple jewelry."
