The dresses worn by falleras and falleros during the Fallas festival, especially during parades and official events such as the Ofrenda de Flores, are based on regional 18th and 19th centuries clothing. These garments shouldn’t however be considered to represent exactly how women and men, especially the huertanos (people that worked in the orchards and fields) dressed at the time.
Rather, these are costumes that have been chosen to represent the regional festivity outfit, the fallas festival, and its participants at large. In any case, the historical accuracy of each outfit and how its pieces are put together are usually left to the personal taste of the fallera or fallero wearing them.
