Hello everyone! I was busy again today. I was organizing my clothes and other things in my bedroom. Some of the things I have in some packages inside the old closet were old letters and clothes for dancing Filipino folk dances.
I found the dresses and Kimonas my best friend and I used when we were dancing Filipino dances using Kimona (see the photo) which were handmade from the Philippines. Of course I don't throw these clothes away.
I have a lot of things to get rid off which I am no longer using. Some of them are shoes and pants.
Kimona* is a traditional Filipino dress in the Philippines. It is usually used when dancing a Filipino folk dance in the Philippines or in other countries when having a Filipino cultural show. It is a kind of blouse with lots of ornaments like sequences. It is being worn over a long dress or over a skirt.
Do you like the Kimona? This is a white one but I also have a black one which I can show you later.
Thank you for reading. I hope your Monday is or was good.

I do not yet see a photo. I like anything that has pretty patterns or sequins, but I don't necessarily like it to wear that kind of stuff myself.

@thelme55 Oh that is very pretty! I think that same pattern would look great against black as well.

it is quite beautiful - I grew up with traditional Thai dancing - it is so intricate.

Yes, I think it was called Patadyong @hereandthere.
Yes, I will donate it here. No, I don't send clothes anymore to Pinas. I used to but now no more. Thank you.
