Attestations from sources in English: 

According to Anawalt, among the Aztec pictorials the quechquemitl is seen only in ritual contexts and hence was a special-purpose clothing that originated in the Gulf Coast region, where it was and still is a typical female garment. Thus its presence in the Aztec costume repertory would reflect the earlier adoption of religious concepts from the Gulf Coast region and carried connotations of fertility (Anawalt 1981:35–37, 212).
