Neuva Camisa

While I was rethinking the barongs, I thought about retooling all the other traditional parts of Filipino native dress. The camisa de chino is one of my favorite shirts (I own and wear quite a few even today) as it's basically a short-sleeved henley with really wide ribbing on the sleeves. I thought about extending it into more of a shirt dress kind of length to make it something that can be worn by itself by women, but also adding seamwork so there's a bit of an Alaia/Geller/cyber feel to it. Against all white cotton and rib, it just makes it an almost tech version of the the classic pinoy undergarment...
