What does HUIPIL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A loose, usually embroidered tunic or blouse traditionally worn by Indigenous women in Mexico and Central America.
The huipil is among the oldest garments still worn in the region, made by sewing together one or more rectangles of handwoven cloth with an opening for the head. The word comes from Nahuatl. Colours and patterns on a huipil often show the village or community of the maker, so it works as a kind of cultural signature. Some are short blouses, others reach to the knee or ankle.
