In the old times, the legs of women were always hidden behind a long dress. However, the 21st have brought many changes to the Philippine fashion. The dresses and skirts have become shorter. The blouses have no more sleeves and some even have backless designs. There are many variations that you can find now, depending on the fashion trend of the moment. The fashion of the Filipinos tends to be influence by the western people.
But there is one thing that remains constant throughout the years: the Barong Tagalog and the Filipiniana terno – symbolize the Filipino tradition and culture. Although, you can see some alterations and addition to the dresses but still the design concept and materials remain the same.
