I think us being proud to own and wear one should change its bad rap. I have discussed with my mom getting one for me. I want it to be a modern terno but not too modern.<BR/><BR/>I agree with knittingmommy that the terno just has this wow factor whether simple or more lavish.<BR/><BR/>I know where Olot is (Imelda's ancestral home) LOL and based on the documentary about her, she air- dries her ternos on a regular basis. It would be nice to see those up close. ;)raissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950216111928053515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905550.post-29601370951276845942008-06-12T14:34:00.000-07:002008-06-12T14:34:00.000-07:00I agree with Raisa that every Filipina should own ...I agree with Raisa that every Filipina should own a terno. I think it gets a bad rap because it was identified with Imelda Marcos. But I truly do think it is one of the most elegant of Filipiniana attire. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm.... I should have one made back home.<BR/><BR/>I have to say the one worn by Imelda Marcos is the picture you posted was particularly stunning. Even with the fan print. <BR/><BR/>While the Baro't Saya is a nice traditional one too, I feel it lacks the ooommph! the terno brings.<BR/><BR/>As for Anon whose getting the Cartier watch... ang swerte mo! (I hope you speak tagalog, if not YOU'RE SO LUCKY!) The Pasha is great, but the Santos is certainly very classic.The Knittymommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669230093238151226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32905550.post-46341584814237329652008-06-11T21:04:00.000-07:002008-06-11T21:04:00.000-07:00Thanks for the tip anon!

I have one with detachable sleeves, so I can wear it as a modern gown, or Filipiniana style! Thanks for your tips too! Will incorporate that in the post! =)<BR/><BR/>Hi cocoy! Yes, that's our ancestral home in Pila, Laguna in the background. My mom really makes the effort to preserve it! =)<BR/><BR/>Lucky you Vicky!

I sure...I think every Filipina should own a terno. I sure want one of my own. =) But I think its for really formal events. Like what Anon said there are already what is called the "modern terno" its usually a dress underneath and over it is a kimona or a top that resembles the butterfly sleeves of the terno. This is what we wore one time. Also, there are already barong-like dresses available. I think there are also Igorot and Muslim inspired dresses using fabrics from these provinces that are so colorful matched with ethnic accessories.
