Costumes for Dinagyang
The Dinagyang is a religious and cultural festival at Iloilo City in the Philippines, held on the fourth Sunday of January in honour of the Santo Niño. The festival features a colourful parade of participants dressed in indigenous costumes and body paint, accompanied by drumbeats and lively dance performances.
The costumes worn during the festival typically consist of a headdress, which is adorned with feathers and beads. The attire includes a sleeveless top or vest with colourful patterns and designs, and a short skirt. Some use accessories like armlets, leg bands, and anklets. Performers often paint their faces with intricate designs using vibrant colours, which adds to the costumes’ visual appeal.
