Title

Pink and White Embroidered Long-Sleeve Dress

Description

A formal, pink terno-style dress with white embroidered and beaded applique worn by Luisa Irao de los Reyes. Luisa had a large collection of formal dresses that she wore to the Filipino Community, Filipino Women's Club, Filipino Catholic Association, and Fil Visayan events. According to her daughter, Joanne de los Reyes-Hilario, Luisa had her dresses made when she traveled home to visit family in the Philippines. One of her family members owned a textile shop so it was convenient and affordable to obtain fabric and materials. The photograph of the dress was taken at Joanne de los Reyes-Hilario's family home on Elkhorn Road in the Pajaro Valley.
