I didn't know that about the shoes, but, geez, what's with the sleeves on those dresses?

The Filippinas valued the enlarged sleeves as haute coture. I can't remember the word for them. The same was for men, a barong tagolog. a very fine lose weaved and long taoled shirt worn with tail out.

Both were business and formal wear replacing the American dress that was often not suited to the climate.
