A little history which I didnt know.. ⠀
⠀
The origin of the baju kebaya.⠀
This is written by Hajahfarhana Tarmudi. ⠀
⠀
"Kebaya formerly belonged to the royal family in Java before 1600. During the Dutch occupation of the archipelago, European women began to wear kebaya as official dresses. ⠀
⠀
This traditional outfit is a lot of Malaysian and Indonesian women. It is made of gauze that is matched with sarongs, batik or other traditional clothing such as songket with colorful motifs. ⠀
⠀
It is believed to have come from the Arab states. The Arabs carry baju kebaya (Arabic is abaya) to the archipelago since hundreds of years ago. Then it became known to Malacca, Java, Bali, Sumatra, and Sulawesi.⠀
⠀
Clothing similar to 'kebaya madya' was created first by the Peranakan (Baba and Nyonya) community from Melaka. They dressed in batik sheath and beautiful beaded shoes. ⠀
⠀
⠀
It is a famous long-sleeved shirts in Melaka, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Perlis. It is then known as 'long shirt' and 'long kebaya'."⠀
