Photos: Miss Dumaguete Costumes on Display
Dear Samantha,
The Dumaguete City fiesta honors St. Catherine, and is held on the 24th and 25th of November every year. Annually, they hold a local pageant, where they feature the work of local designers. The theme revolved around the history of the women in Dumaguete City, with elements of local history, the famous Bell Tower included added into the designs.
These designs were placed on display at the newly-built Paseo Rovira, the old ancestral home of the Perdices Family. It is located right next to the Rizal Boulevard, making it one of the most flocked-to destinations in the city recently.
(It is also where the newest franchise of Max's Chicken was, so while we were waiting for our chicked to go, I had to go around and explore (so what else is new, right?)
 |
| I suppose the contestant wearing this had to walk around with the bell tower on semi-invisible wires strapped to her torso to pull this off. It IS a whole new departure from the usual ballgown effect. |
 |
| This golden creation was about "interlocking" and interconnections... of a more traditional terno design. |
 |
| This was the label on the white gown with the bell tower motif. A bit of history about the ladies from Dumaguete in this one... Although I am not one to agree on the "shy and softspoken to aggressive and empowered" statement in this label, I think that there are varying degrees to it. |
 |
| This was one of my favorites...a bit of "peacocking" wouldn't you say? :-) Still, I loved the artistry. |
 |
| The design was painted on the pina skirt for this one. |
 |
| This one's the top portion of the dress. |
I really liked how they made all this accessible for the people. It is a nice bit of cultural exposition.
Love,
S.
