Thanks for filling me in on Filipino trditional style..

as said, I meant no disrespect to her..

Perhaps the sleeves could have been scaled down a bit?

She's very classy indeed.

(I am pretty tiny myself!)

Actually, I think the size has something to do with the status of the woman who wears the sleeves. Bigger the sleeves, the higher the status, etc. We had many Filipinos in our parish in Alaska, and they were all petite, but they wore their traditional dress at Christmas, and it was stunning.
