Under the huipil, a very wide and long skirt is used. It's named Fustan (pic in mayan) that in occasions has the lower part embroidered. It is part of a more complex dress called "Terno" and it consist on the "jubon", "Hipil" and "Fustan".
The Jubon is a squared-shaped neck of 30cm width, imposed to the hipil. It is beautifully decorated piece with embroidened motives. Its beauty consists in the square neckline that leaves free part of the chest and the back with delicate audacity. |

| The elegant Terno of the Mestiza compliments with a tin muffler of Santa Maria and a rosary made of Filigrane, which the yucatecan goldsmith makes, weaving the gold with the magic of his hands, turning it into long chains of three and four turns to adorn the neck of the elegant mestiza and to which end hangs the venerated cross of Christ. |
