These are all about dresses. From the ribbons, flowery
clothes, big pockets, polka dots and laces designs, are the proofs of our
ancestors’ creativity. We may call it old-fashioned, but these fashion
statements will always be part of our present lives. This is because fashion is
a cycle. History does repeat itself, even in the world of fashion. Skinny jeans,
high waist and laces are examples. It is nice to think though, all
anticipations we have are been there already, only if we are humble enough to
look back.

My Lola died few years back. Her belongings are kept in a
big wooden box, “baul ni Lola”. But recently, my mama opened it to get rid of
all those infesting it. Termites, cockroach, etc. And though I have seen all my
Lola’s dresses when she was still alive, seeing them folded in the “baul”, kept
for a very long time, gave me a beautiful idea. It is to resurrect my Lola’s
dresses. Before I will forget it, my Lola’s old maid sister is a “sastre”. She
is my tiyay Persing (Persecussion Huervana). I’m confident that she sews all
these dresses. When I was a little girl, she had sewn me a lot of dresses too. It
is my dream to learn how to sew too, if given a chance.
My grandma’s name is Azucena Huervana Jaleco. I call her my Lola
Susing. And these are all my grandmother’s dresses:
