Title

Yellow Beaded Terno

Description

A formal yellow terno-style dress with intricate beading and embroidery worn by Luisa Irao de los Reyes. Luisa had a large collection of formal ternos and more casual 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.
