Origins
The origin of "Maria Clara" comes from my previous Baro't. It was a monicker assigned to "traje de mestiza" after the ensemble was associated with a tragic hero at Dr. Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere . The "traje de mestiza" of this period in the late 1800s consists of four components: camisa (blouse), paÃÆ' Â ± uelo (fichu), me (skirt), and optional filter (rectangular piece) or elaborate "dalantal "(apron)

Traditional components
This outfit consists of four parts, namely camisa or baro , me (my baro't) , paÃÆ' Â ± uelo (Spanish for scarves, also spelled panuelo ) and filters .
The camisa is a collarless blouse with a tip on the waist, and is made of thin, translucent fabrics like pineapple fibers and jusi . Arm of camisa is similar to what is called "angel wing", or shaped like a bell. The exact term for the camisa arm during the mid to late 1800s is the "pagoda" - derived from the early Victorian silhouette of the Victorian period. The paÃÆ' Â ± uelo is a rigid square piece of fabric (either opaque or made of same as camisa ) folded several times, and placed on the shoulders. The purpose of paÃÆ' Â ± uelo has been related to decency, is used to cover the nape and upper body due to low camisa neck and low light. ; and also acts as an accent because of the added additions to it, usually embroidery and pins that hold it in place. The me is a skirt shaped like a "cupola" with a length that starts from the waist reaches the floor. It usually consists of single or double sheets, called "panels" or dos paÃÆ' Â ± os (Spanish for "two fabrics"); some examples are made of seven scratches or siete cuchillos (Spanish for "seven knives"). The filter is a knee-length knee-length skirt. Filters designs may be plain, and usually made of opaque fabrics such as muslin and madras cloth, and are also used for courtesy purposes as it makes the lower body visible because of the thinness of me and the absence of underwear.
Some women who belong to the higher class (often of the caste mestiza ) consider filter as a lowly garment, because it is similar to dalantal (apron) used by the lower classes. The upper class women from the 1880s to the 1890s wore an elaborate version of the filter tied at the waist with two ropes. This is also referred to as "dalantal" (apron).
Modernization
The more modern version of this dress is referred to as "terno".
The word "terno" in Spanish refers to a set of matching clothing made of the same fabric. In the Philippines, "terno" refers to a female ensemble of matching colors/patterns. In the early 1900s, the traje de mestiza component began to match in terms of colors and patterns. Some of the trajes in 1910 were all made of the same material (such as "nipis" - a Filipino term meaning "delicate" or "thin"). In 1920 the term referred to a suit consisting of a "camisa" that fits the butterfly arm, "paÃÆ' Â ± uelo" (fichu), "me" (skirt) which is very rigid which usually comes with "cola" (train ), and "sobrefalda" (overskirt).
In the late 1940s, the meaning and silhouette of terno evolved into Western clothing with a butterfly sleeve attached to it. This is the "terno" that most Filipinos have recognized today.
Sometimes "terno" will be called a "mestiza dress" by a woman who lived in the first half of the 20th century.
During July 8, 2008 Country Address Nation President of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, she was wearing a "Clara modern dress". Adaptation made by the president comes is fuchsia-pink, designed by JC Buendia. Made in three weeks, the cloth used for the presidential dress is a mixture of pineapple and silk fibers and was developed by the Philippine Research Institute, an agency of the Philippine Department of Science and Technology. The six-yard fabric cost? 3,000 produced in Misamis Oriental province, processed in Manila, and woven in Aklan province. The fabric is then stained with a dye of sabang , the original plant.
The purpose of the dress is to project the president's speech theme, "world-class capacity of Filipinos", in addition to the values ​​of self-reliance, environmental protection, helping the less fortunate and entering the Philippines "the potential for catapulting First World status".
According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, this is the first time in the history of the Philippines that Malacaón Palace media office discloses details about the Philippine president's evening outfit that will be worn for the Nation State Address, even though the president himself spoke of the clothes he wore in June 2008 during the 50th anniversary of the Department of Science and Technology.
