jusi
Jusi is a type of fabric commonly used in the Philippines, known for its lightweight and sheer qualities. It is made from the fibers of the banana plant or pineapple leaves, making it a natural and eco-friendly textile. Jusi is often used in traditional clothing, such as barong Tagalog and terno, and is favored for its elegant drape and smooth texture.
This fabric is typically semi-transparent and has a slightly glossy finish, which adds to its appeal for formal wear. Jusi is also popular for making formal dresses and bridal gowns, as it can be easily embroidered or embellished, enhancing its beauty and versatility in fashion.
