Isthmus clothing includes the versatile rabona and the Tehuana gala ensemble: a huipil and long skirt, often in black velvet with colorful floral embroidery and a white lace ruffle. Gold filigree, ribbon-woven braids, flowers, a resplandor, and a jicapestle are important details in the 2026 presentation.
