Elderly women still can be seen in Jamiltepec in the traditional dress. The finely woven huipil is used more like a cape and a white skirt is used along with it. During special occasion the striped wrap skirt is worn. In this gallery there are also huipils and textiles from the collection of Elwell / Aleto
