[Image Description: Two drawings in cool blue colors. The one on the left shows a person wearing blue terno sleeves, while the one on the right wears a blue panuelo. Both have wave designs on the hems of their sleeves. They wear no shirts or bodices underneath, only body chains in multiple strings of white pearls draped across their torsos. /end ID]
Wore the barong filipiniana I made out to a local Artisan Market, met so many cool Filipino makers and finally got to eat at a Filipino pop up I've been chasing for ages now! I'm so thrilled puff sleeves are back in I'm gonna make the casual terno/butterfly sleeve a THING
This is a colourization and digital restoration of a Filipino woman in the 1900s. She is wearing a Terno gown. I literally have no information on the original b+w. I got it on Pinterest.
2nd half of the dare. I get to draw these girls this time. From the 'Thea Stilton' spin-off series. I really like these girls, and their books, despite me being a guy. Wouldn't lie if I said I'm kinda attracted to one of them. Not saying who.
So yeah, for this half, I get to draw these girls if they were wearing some fashionable Filipiniana styles. Maybe they're at the Philippines for a formal event or a fiesta. And maybe they'll have an adventure there as well.
Like the previous pic, designing these were hard. But I suppose I managed to make the best of it. And yes, I used a photo for the bg this time. Because I get to be lazy on that end for once.
Hope you guys like!

[Image Description: A woman looking over her shoulder, wearing a white strapless dress and golden cage-like terno sleeves. The sleeves have a style reminiscent of art nouveau frames. Bunches of white moon orchids and leaves peek out from between the gaps of the sleeves. Another moon orchid is pinned to her twisted updo. The woman is surrounded by a green frame with an arch and two moon orchids drawn across the top. /end ID]
Turning a Barong Tagalog into a filipiniana dress! Here's the progress pics on the fun mesh top Filipiniana I wore yesterday. I'm gonna be making casual butterfly sleeves a THING even if I gotta make them myself 🔥🇵🇭🔥
AND FINALLY styling the completed filipiniana for a wedding 🔥
My favorite thing about wearing butterfly sleeves out is it's basically a beacon for other Filipinos to find you and I love all the cool connections I've made 💜🇵🇭💜
