MINT Fashion students experienced first-hand an event dedicated to showcase the craftsmanship in creating the Philippines’ national costume, the “terno”—a traditional ensemble of a long, flowy saya (or skirt) and bilowy blouse with its distinct crisp arched sleeves. They had the exclusive access for Ternocon last January 26, 2020.
The baro’t saya, or if worn by affluent women, the traje de mestiza, consisted of the camison or inner blouse as first layer of cover, topped with baro or the blouse with long and billowy sleeves, and then covered with a panuelo or a starched cloth acting as a shawl to fully cover their once-bare bosoms. They also started to wear ankle-length skirts.
