where in the US can you buy a Pollera??....

[hermespty]

those are "basquiñas" (work polleras) not polleras de gala.

Pollera the gala is white with had-made embroidering or crosspoint. Also the lady uses "tembleques" (the white flowers on the head)

Fé de errata: No es la pollera de gala, es la pollera montuna no?

[zulaymarie]

nop, la montuna usa la blusa de una pollera con una falda de zaraza la blusa puede ser blanca lisa o bien bordada, marcasa o calada... esta camisilla que llevan estas chicas se llama basquiña.

THAT is NOT the POLLERA DE GALA! Kindly don't try to pass off this- for the American and other foreign tourists. The Pollera de Gala is a white background top and bottom, embroidered in "Talco de Sombra" flowers in one color - top and bottom. What's featured here is the MONTUNA, the calico country dress. And the dance here, is a frenetic Mexican dance passed off as Panamanian. Even the flowers in the hair is Mexican. Panamanian dancers use TEMBLEQUES and PEINETAS.

Actually "POLLERA DE GALA" is the name of the dinner dance show at Restaurante Tinajas. This is just a small snippet from the entire show and yes the grand finale is the beautiful POLLERA DE GALA!

[PanamaMark]

The best place to buy Pollera is in Panama. The most famous dresses are made in the Azuero Peninsula - try Las Tablas and Chitre. You might also want to check out ebay.
