Their natural attractions are set off by a characteristic and becoming costume.

The _huipilili_ is a little sleeveless waist, loose at the neck and arms, and so short that it rarely reaches to the waist-line, to which, of course, it is supposed to extend; it is of bright cotton--red, brown, purple, with stripes or spots of white--and is stitched at the neck with yellow silk.

The _enagua_, or skirt, is a strip of heavy cotton cloth, less than a yard wide, which is simply wrapped around the figure and hangs from the waist, being held in place by a brightly colored belt or girdle.

The _enagua_ is usually a rich red, but it is sometimes a fine violet purple.

It reaches but little below the knees.
