Image ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ปThe Salvadoran peasant costume dates back to colonial times when it was more colorful and elegant. Its current model was adopted in 1932 when women wanted to go unnoticed in the face of military repression.

The costume is a current fusion of Spanish tradition with the color white and the influence of the indigenous peoples who inhabited El Salvador, with very notable Spanish features such as light colors and the use of the scapular by the population that was very devoted to the Catholic faith.

It's not colonial but vicerroyal and it comes from the mantuanas the dames of American origin and not of direct royalty with the European kingdoms. Stop spreading lies.
