Description
Traditional Philippine cloth types include pineapple, jusi & sinamay. & the hallmark gown of the Filipiniana mestiza is the Traje Mestiza, otherwise known as the Maria Clara. Much has been written about the evolution of this elegant folkdress from the early baroʻt saya of the people through its transformation during the Spanish colonial period & beyond. Kimport describes this doll as one of femininity, dressed in native fiber combined with commercial silk, a classic. Wearing heels & hair tightly bound in two low chignons, this cloth Mestiza is still quite a beauty, her stockings showing the most wear. She is tagged, of course, & stands between 10 & 11 inches. The human story still inspires ~ www.KaLimaNanea.com Thanks the visit. Filipiniana Kimport Doll in Maria Clara Terno Gown With Butterfly Sleeves Circa 1940S | Vintage Cloth Beauty Traje Mestiza
