When the invitation says “Filipino attire”
There’s an exhibit and sale of Philippine indigenous fabrics at courtyard of the Yuchengco Museum, RCBC Building on the corner of Ayala and Sen. Gil Puyat Avenues. The bazaar features beautiful handmade textiles, clothes, and bags from across the archipelago. Entrance fee is P50.
Here’s something for guys to wear when the invitation says “Filipino attire”:
You can wear it by itself, or as an undershirt so it looks like you have ethnic tattoos.
For ladies:
Something to wear over your clothes. It looks delicate, but it’s not—you can just pop it into the washer.
The bazaar is on until today, October 24.
