Baro't Saya

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

La Bulaqueña, an 1895 painting by Juan Luna of an upper class woman from Bulacan wearing a traje de mestiza. The painting is sometimes referred to as the "María Clara" due to the woman's dress.

The Baro’t saya or Baro at saya (literally "Blouse and Skirt") is a traditional dress ensemble worn by women in the Philippines. It is a national dress of the Philippines and combines elements from both the precolonial native Filipino and colonial Spanish clothing styles.[1] It traditionally consists of four parts: a blouse (baro or camisa), a long skirt (saya or falda), a kerchief worn over the shoulders (pañuelo, fichu, or alampay), and a short rectangular cloth worn over the skirt (the tapis or patadyong).[2] It has been considered to be the Official National dress for Filipino women in the Philippines.[n 1]
