If you visit Antigua, there is a weaver who has a shop outside of town called Carolina's. She is a well known weaver and teaches many of the local girls to weave. You can visit her shop and see her work. She has a room filled with huipiles and woven skirts. They will also dress you up in the traditional dress. It is quite fun and a good photo opportunity. She has them traditional to many areas of Guatemala and a map to help you. I have gone to the shop each time I visit and love it. It is one of my favorites. You may find something here. Good luck.
I am attaching a photo from one of the women weaving at Carolina's. I blocked out the face as I am uncomfortable posting photo's of recognizable people without them knowing. Youc an see the traditonal dress she is wearing.
