The baro’t saya or baro at saya (literally blouse and skirt) is a traditional dress semble worn by wom in the Philippines. It is a national dress of the Philippines and combines elemts from both the precolonial native Filipino and colonial Spanish clothing styles.

The baro't saya has multiple variants, known under the collective term Filipiniana, including the aristocratic traje de mestiza (also called the Maria Clara); the Visayan kimona with its short-sleeved or poncho-like embroidered blouse paired with a patadyong skirt; as well as the unified gown known as the terno, and its casual and cocktail dress version, the balintawak.
Baro't saya is a contraction of baro at saya, literally meaning blouse and skirt, from Tagalog baro (shirt or clothing) and saya (from Spanish skirt).

Baro't Saya, Unofficial National Dress Of The Philippines
Baro't saya evolved from two pieces of clothing worn by both m and wom in the pre-colonial period of the Philippines: the baro (also barú or bayú in other Philippine languages), a simple collar-less shirt or jacket with close-fitting long sleeves;
And the tapis (also called patadyong in the Visayas and Sulu Archipelago, and malong in Mindanao), a short rectangular or tube-like cloth worn wrapped around at waist or chest-height and secured with belts, braided material, or knotted over one shoulder. Wom also usually wore bracelets over the baro.

The Spanish clergy during the colonial period deemed the precolonial mode of dress as immodest for wom and introduced the long skirt (known by the Spanish name saya or falda) to be worn under the tapis. In the Visayas, the patadyong was tolerated for longer, although it was evtually also replaced with the saya in the 19th ctury.
By the late 18th ctury, the traditional everyday wear of wom in the Philippines consisted of two basic pieces of clothing known as the pares (pair). This consisted of a saya reaching up to the ankles (usually checkered) and a collar-less baro or camisa (usually plain or striped). The name pares was more closely associated with the skirt, which unlike later saya were narrow and sheath-like, resembling precolonial tapis. They were secured at the waist by strings and had wide, flat pleats along the waistline held together by pins. The baro was more or less idtical to precolonial baro, with long narrow sleeves. Like later sembles, these two pieces of clothing were usually complemted by a tapis (which was now worn as an overskirt) and a kerchief around the shoulders known as the pañuelo, fichu, or alampay (made from the same opaque material as the skirts).
The fabrics used for early sayas were usually native textiles (particularly textiles made by highlander Visayans in Panay). Later on in the 19th ctury, they began to use similar imported textiles, most notably the cambaya imported from India.

The narrow width of the 18th-ctury pares saya, however, made them impractical for everyday life. By the 1820s to 1840s, the saya was replaced by a billowy western-style skirt known as the saya a la mascota. For wom of the upper classes (principalia), they were usually ankle-lgth; while for wom in the lower classes, they usually reached down to mid-calf to facilitate freer movemt while working. Knee-lgth versions were also allowed for young girls.
Designs and elemts of the dress also later diverged sharply betwe the lower classes and the aristocratic Principalia classes from the mid-19th ctury onwards. The tapis for example, which was unique to Philippine wom's attire, became much shorter betwe the 1840s to the 1860s. Due to this, they became more restricted to the native indios, while Spanish wom and some mestizas avoided wearing it because of its resemblance to the delantal (aprons) worn by servants. This dichotomy was depicted in José Rizal's novel Noli Me Tángere where the mestiza protagonist María Clara wore a tapis and a baro't saya, while the prettious Doña Consolación (a native married to a pinsular) wore European-style dresses without the tapis.When Blackmore visited the Philippines in 1936 she purchased this dark red baro’t saya (blouse and skirt). The baro’t saya was largely worn by Filipino women in the eighteenth and nineteenth century and is made out of fine cloth or piña also known as pineapple fibre. The arrival of Christian missionaries in the eighteenth century led Filipino women to wear a tapis (underskirt) and a pañuelo (undershirt) for modesty. Spanish colonization in the 1850s further influenced the baro’t saya. The skirt became larger and fuller while the sleeves were shortened and a train was added. By the early twentieth century, it became a symbol of traditional Filipino dress and was only worn for special occasions. However, Filipino suffragettes who advocated for women’s rights also wore the baro’t saya throughout the interwar period in order to reimagine the modern Filipino woman, yet appeal to the desire for a more romanticised image of the Filipino woman. Rather than purchasing a tapis and pañuelo in the Philippines, Blackmore purchased a silk slip in the United States for Dorothy Brayton ‘41 to wear underneath the baro’t saya in the “Costumes of Many Lands”. The slip was hand dyed red in order to match the color of the blouse and skirt. The photograph of Taber wearing the ensemble also illustrates the problematic nature of Blackmore’s display practices that involved students “dressing up” in black or brownface in order to recreate a more “authentic” representation of the Indigenous peoples who wore the garments she collected.

For a discussion on the importance of the baro’t saya in the twenty-first century, please refer to the following article published in Esquire.For decades, the portrait of a Filipina has been considered a picture of grace —she’s seated upright, donning a charming smile, and of course, dressed impeccably. Arguably the centerpiece of the portrait is the traditional dress — a Baro’t Saya, stunning with its bold shape and elaborate details. The Baro’t Saya is more than a dress — it’s a representation of the Filipina; the dress is as confident and striking, as it is graceful and refined. It’s no wonder why it’s constantly reimagined in current times — it’s such an excellent representation of what a modern Filipina should strive to embody.
The baro’t saya is made of four parts. The Baro is a blouse made of lightweight material. The Saya is a skirt that falls anywhere below the knee or to the feet. The Panuelo or Alampay is a scarf draped on the shoulders, often secured by a brooch. The Tapiz is a short overskirt placed on top of the Saya. Through the decades and major events of our history, each component of the baro’t saya evolved in design. For example, because of the onset of world trade and higher availability of intricate fabrics, the Saya became more and more elaborate in design.
Since the Baro’t Saya is lightweight and can be a little see-through, a special pair of undergarments can be worn underneath it. The Corpiño is worn under the blouse, and the Enaguas under the skirt. They are both light-colored and finely detailed undergarments. It allows another layer of design underneath the translucent material.
Everything You Should Know About The Baro't Saya
Fiber is the choice material for the baro’t saya because of its accessibility, practicality, and structural integrity. Pineapples grow abundantly in tropical countries like the Philippines, so the fiber is easy to access. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, which makes it perfect to wear for the hot weather. And despite the lightness of the material, it can be stiff and structured, allowing it to create the notable baro’t saya sleeves. Additionally, the way Piña Fiber is made — extracted manually and handwoven in a loom — is environmentally friendly. In fact, it is one of the sustainable fibers is trying to revive in our latest collection.
