Baju kebaya

Baju Kebaya is a traditional dress worn by Malaysian and Indonesian women. It is made of gauze fitted with sarongs, batik, or other traditional clothing such as songket with colorful motifs. It is believed that kebaya comes from the Arab countries. The Arabs brought baju kebaya to the archipelago hundreds of years ago. Then spread to Melaka, Java, Bali, Sumatra, and Sulawesi. After hundreds of years of cultural assimilation, the clothing was accepted by the locals. Before the year 1600 in Java, Kebaya was the only clothing worn by the royal family there. During the Dutch occupation of the island, the European women began to wear kebaya as official dresses. Every day, kebaya is changed from just using mori woven fabric using silk with colorful embroidery. A similar dress called "lady kebaya" was created first by the Peranakan people from Melaka. They wore it with a cuffed sarongs and pretty shoes that were called "a pair of shoes".

Baju Kebaya ialah pakaian tradisional yang dikenakan oleh wanita Malaysia dan Indonesia. Ia diperbuat daripada kain kasa yang dipasangkan dengan sarung, batik, atau pakaian tradisional yang lain seperti songket dengan motif warna-warni. Dipercayai kebaya berasal daripada negara Arab. Orang Arab membawa baju kebaya ke Nusantara ratusan tahun yang lalu. Lalu tersebar ke Melaka, Jawa, Bali, Sumatera, dan Sulawesi. Setelah berlakunya asimilasi budaya yang berlangsung selama ratusan tahun, pakaian itu diterima oleh penduduk setempat. Sebelum tahun 1600 di Pulau Jawa, kebaya adalah pakaian yang hanya dikenakan oleh golongan keluarga kerajaan di sana. Selama zaman penjajahan Belanda di Pulau ini, wanita-wanita Eropah mula mengenakan kebaya sebagai pakaian rasmi. Saban hari, kebaya diubah dari hanya menggunakan barang tenunan mori menggunakan sutera dengan sulaman warna-warni. Pakaian yang mirip yang disebut "nyonya kebaya" diciptakan pertama kali oleh orang-orang Peranakan daripada Melaka. Mereka mengenakannya dengan sarung dan kasut cantik bermanik-manik yang disebut "kasut manek".
