At the end of the 19th century, the chola chuquisaqueña typically wore a tight-fitting bodice called a jubón and long skirts known as polleras that were distinct for lacking horizontal pleats. Footwear during this period consisted of ankle boots, which were later replaced by French-heeled shoes in the early 20th century.
