Folkwear 125 Huichol Wardrobe

Buy the 125 Huichol Wardrobe sewing pattern from Folkwear. The lavishly embroidered clothing of the Huichol of Mexico reflects the richness and complexity of their culture. This pattern features five garments inspired by the Huichol wardrobe: a blouse, skirt, pants, shirt, and tabard. All are sized for women, and the pants, shirt, and tabard are also sized for men. 

The bound slash-front neckline on the short blouse creates an open collar and V-neck and reveals a lined yoke. The full front and back are pleated into the yoke, which may be trimmed with bias. Full sleeves are pleated into the yoke and cuffs, though you have the option of sleeveless as well. The full skirt is pleated into a narrow waistband that closes with hooks and eyes. The pants fall straight from an elasticised waist. They have a centre gusset and finish just above the ankle. The versatile straight waist-length shirt has the same neckline as the blouse, is unlined, and has sleeves pleated into cuffs. Usually worn belted over a shirt as an open-sided tunic, the tabard may also be seamed from the underarm to the hip, falling open to mid-thigh length. The vertical neck slash creates a bound V-neck in front and back, and a dropped shoulder.

Optional bias trim may be added to the cuffs and hemlines, and embroidery designs and instructions are included in the pattern.
