Kebaya
The kebaya is a traditional blouse worn by local women, made from cotton, silk, or other fabrics and embroidered with intricate and beautiful floral patterns as the basic design. Over time, the kebaya gradually became the attire of Malay women. It is paired with a shawl, a long baju, or elaborately hand-embroidered gold-threaded woven pieces. The kebaya also came to be favored by early immigrants from China who settled in Malaysia, adopting it as part of their clothing. With the passage of time and under cultural influences, kebaya designs evolved during the Renaissance period, and its simple style allows young and fashionable individuals to pair it with popular jeans and skirts for a complete look.
