YES, THERE IS A LOT OF CULTURE, TRADITIONS AND HISTORY TO REPRESENT AND INSPIRE.

Panama's costumes seems to be expensives, am I right?

HEY,

PANAMANIAN COSTUMES CAN BE EXPENSIVE DEPENDING UPON THE MATERIALS USED (FEATHERS, TYPES OF FABRIC, EMBELLISHMENTS), THE SIZE OF THE DRESS AND THE POPULARITY AND EXPERIENCE OF THE DESIGNER AND SEAMSTRESS/ASSISTANT.
