Evelyn Embroidered Guatemalan Top - White, Blue, & Red

$ 355.00
One size
Relaxed fit - Order normal size, or size down for tighter fit

Hand-woven and embroidered by women in Guatemala, the Evelyn top (or huipil) combines comfort, style, & centuries of tradition. 

With a chic and flattering drape, the Evelyn is beautiful when paired with anything from jeans to a skirt or styled with dressy joggers!

Traditionally designed to clothe and "live with" a woman through all the stages of her adulthood, the quality of each huipil is exquisite. It can take 45 days to create just one!

Based on ancient Mayan spinning and dyeing techniques, Guatemalan textiles are an enduring link to a rich cultural past. Weavers today continue to use the original back-strap loom that is worn around the waist. With skill and creativity, these artisan-entrepreneurs preserve their heritage while creating meaningful income for their families!

SIZE GUIDE

• Overall width: 40"

• Overall length: 21"

• Sleeve opening (laid flat): 7½" (15" circumference)


Fit Notes: 

Relaxed fit, flattering drape.

Each huipil is measured laid flat. Because these garments are crafted from traditional rectangular textiles, they are designed to drape rather than fit closely. The silhouette adapts beautifully to many body shapes and stages of life.

Exact measurements may vary slightly (1/2" to 1") due to the handmade nature of each piece. If you have any questions and would like to confirm your fit at time of order, please email our team at info@larkinlane.com and we'd be happy to help you.
