Cool thread, just found it! Although, I think it should be moved to the 'Other Cultures' forum rather than 'Singapore' since it's dedicated to ALL Asian costumes.

Chinese Han style clothing (each dynasty/period had its own version of hanfus and so on)

Kimona a see thru dress made of light materials mostly pineapple or abaca

[Ek-ek]

Kimona dress








A Kimona is usually an translucent embroidered blouse typically made in a "jusi" (silk organza) or pina (pineapple fiber) fabric. The pina versions are typically more expensive as it is a hand woven fabric. The Kimona is also available in a rainbow of colors, either dyed or hand painted. Here, this Kimona was lined with a beige fabric, possibly to avoid having to find a fine under blouse. She has paired it with a long, straight skirt with a thigh-high slit on the side. She also accessorized with a long necklace made of shell and beads.








The Kimona is possibly the most versatile Filipiniana piece. It may be paired with a long skirt of any color and makes a fine formal piece for any evening occasion. If you have no means of having a Filipiniana piece custom made, ordering an hand embroidered kimona in a natural beige would be your best bet. While one made in the jusi fabric would be more than adequate, one in pina would be very elegant.

Philippine ternos notice the butterfly sleeves - this dress was popularized by Madame Imelda Marcos and various Philippine Beauty queens, Miss Universe winners, ambassadors etc...- the dress had embroidery


During her 30-minute visit to the Malacañang Palace, the President learned that she’s bothered with the summer heat and he offered her to stay either in the Presidentail suite of the Manila Hotel or in an air conditioned room of the palace. President Quirino also offered the presidential yacht Apo if she wants to go fishing. On March 12, the lawmakers discarded their usual ‘parliamentary sobriety’ when Armi called on then Senate President Eulogio Rodriguez and Speaker Eugenio Perez. Smitten by Armi’s beauty, then Rep. Ferdinand E. Marcos (L, Ilocos Norte), introduced himself as the only eligible bachelor in the House and confessed that ‘his knees gave way’ after meeting her up close and personal. In the House, she was presented a Moro gold bracelet from a Dansalan datu, usually given to royalty. A tea party was tendered in her honor at the Malacañang Palace on March 14th.

Prior to the coronation night, Armi had a personal appearance in the Show of Shows topbilled by Dolphy, Katy dela Cruz, Bayani Casamiro, Chichay and Tolindoy held in Rizal Memorial Stadium. On March 20, Armi crowned Cristina de Leon Galang (1953 Miss Philippines and Miss Luzon, with Benigno Aquino, Jr. as her escort, the who would later marry the future President of the Philippines, Mrs. Corazon Conjuangco-Aquino). Cristina’s court of honor includes Violeta Villamor (1953 Miss Visayas and Pearl of the Orient), Gilda Gruet Walstrom (Miss Mindanao), Norma Jimenez (Miss Manila) and Imelda Trinidad Romualdez (Muse of Manila).

On March 9, 1953, Armi set foot on Philippine soil upon the invitation of the Philippines International Fair Committee to crown the winner of the 1953 Miss Philippines. During her stay until April 11, 1953, Armi paid courtesy calls to then President Elpidio Rivera Quirino, Supreme Court justices, Senate and Congress lawmakers, laid wreath of flowers at Bonifacio Monument, visited Maryknoll College, University of the Philippines, Ateneo de Manila, Balara Filtration Plant and Baguio City (where arrived on board the presidential plane Laong Laan and it was in this Pines City that she met her eventual husband, Virgilio Hilario through a blind date).
