**Traditional Guatemalan huipiles are woven with small neck openings, as they were originally made to fit the artisan who wove and wore them. Because of this, the neckline may feel tight for a modern or Western fit. Many collectors and wearers simply make a small cut or adjustment at the neck to comfortably fit a larger head size, while still preserving the beauty of the blouse.
