The Gancho style embroidery (punch or hook needle embroidery) found on this huipil is the most difficult technique to master of all the types of Tehuana embroidery. You'll be stunning in this statement piece at your next evening event, wedding, gallery opening, or Frida themed occasion. Express your own style. Rock the top with jeans and boots, looks great with pencil skirt, broomstick skirt, capris, even a business suit. Because these items are hand-crafted by local artisans using traditional techniques, slight variations may occur. Note that colors may vary according to each display monitor.
