The Meri Blouse

Meri blouse - a type of shirt worn by the women of Papua New Guinea.

Meri blouses were a popular item for Interface students to buy on the trip. In Goroka there were a wide variety to choose from. We bought them for friends and for ourselves. Some of us wondered if we would ever wear them back home. I wanted to be unique, so I decided I would wear mine at home. So when I went to the mall this morning I was surprised to find a style very similar to this. I saw meri blouse like tunics at JC Penney's, Target and H+M. So much for being unique. Oh well, at least mine's an original made in PNG.
