Bejeweled
Another Filipiniana dress from the exhibit that I caught at the SM City North mall. The butterfly sleeves, simpler neckline and contoured bodice identify this as a terno. Traditional dresses such as the terno and Maria Clara are still worn by Filipino women nowadays, but usually only during formal occasions. However, this is also the first time I've seen a terno's sleeves made completely out of beads and golden ornaments. This fantastic creation is the work of David Ocampo.

That is something else. Will you be modeling it for us Hilda?
It's beautiful but I think I would like it even more if the sleeves were made of softer material. This would even look great sleeveless.
It looks like a work of art.
Btw I don't wear dresses. :-)
It's gorgeous, but I wonder how comfortable it would be to wear!
That is simply gorgeous. I want one :-D
Wow,-this is ART!
I guess this was very expensive !?
Beautiful dress. It is very artistic.
Strangely enough the word verification I have to key in is "hotshe" and I am not making this up.
C'est vraiment splendide mais ce doit être difficile à porter !
That is exquisit! Very glam.
I'm with Don and Krise on this one!
It is beautiful, but I can't imagine it would be too comfortable to wear to the office...
I hate to think the amount of time it took to bead those sleeves. Very pretty.
Beautiful and artistic!
now i wonder how long it took them to finish it.
une robe qui doit faire rêver toutes les femmes, elle est magnifique
a dress which must make dream about all women, it is splendid
You need strong shoulders and a bodyguard tho wear this... Absolutely wonderful.
It's beautiful! But you cold only wear it to a formal occasion for a short duration - looks a little itchy!
That headdress is stunning. I'd love to see it on a person. I bet it looks great!
This is a beautiful dress. I love the fashions associated with other cultures. I wonder if the beads would make this heavy?
Melanie is right, I do not see myself with that held
That would be the wrong outfit for any girl to wear on a date. :-) The guy would have a hard time getting close enough to give her a peck on the cheek, goodnight.

Oooh shiny! It looks fun, though I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to wear it!
Now this is real art, can almost remember how my granny used to do things like this for Imelda.
looking so beautiful .But sad is that wearing this is heavy.Too hard & heavy to wear.

The sleeves are unmistakeably Filipina. Amazing embroidery work on the dress.
That is great craft work - I like sparkles - I want to have this in my room and look at it every day - just enough sparkle for me!
It is so beautiful, sparkles and very neat work done too.
