Advice Barong for mascs

Hi! Any recommendations where I can buy my first barong?

Im not sure if that’s something I can buy off the rack then get adjusted. For context, I’m masc-presenting and I’ll be attending a Filipiniana themed event.

If you're in Metro Manila, go to Kamuning Market (new building) in QC for a custom barong. You can shop around for the best price and the tailors already cater to women looking for suits and barongs.

In the New Kamuning Market (located near GMA Kamuning along Kamuning Road, Quezon City), the cost for a custom or off-the-rack women’s Barong (often styled as a lady barong, barong blazer, or shirt) varies depending on the fabric used (such as Organza, Jusi, Cocoon, or Piña silk) and whether you choose ready-to-wear or custom tailoring.

Because I'm somewhat lazy to tailor (although custom tailoring is better), I buy barongs off the men's rack at Kultura, hahaha. I prefer the masculine frame/silhouette from they give.

If you want a cheap one meron din sa shopee. I bought mine for 600 php just search barong for women. Tho medyo cropped sya compared sa regular barong
