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.
