Jamiltepec is also a large market town; during the market many women wearing traditional huipils and skirts can be seen. The detail if the huipil embroidery is all very similar except on closer examination. On the bottom right there is a "tourist" huipil which is made out of a synthetic material, which considering the climate, would probably kill from heat stoke any one that wore it.
