Much more available here. It’s good to see technology being used to present a crucial piece of Filipiñiana, but only God knows how hot those costumes must’ve been.

On the contrary, I believe those costumes would have been quite cool. Almost all of them would’ve been made from cotton and piña, and the baggy, lose design would enable good airflow within the outfit.
