kebaya nyonya...


This time..i would like to share information with the viewers about our traditional cloth..kebaya nyonya!
For Malays, they surely know and recognize the beautiful and gorgeous kebaya but do you think all Malays really recognize that? it will sound weird if there are Malays who say that they do not know what is kebaya nyonya but unfortunately there are some. mostly teenagers from this modern generation, when we ask them about kebaya nyonya, they will say "i ever heard the name but what it looks like?"
so, here i want to share about it so that the generation now and next will not forget it and unrecognized it.

The Nyonya Kebaya is a beautiful, translucent, figure-hugging embroidered blouse worn with a batik sarong by Peranakan ladies.It is this and much more. A nyonya kebaya is a work of art, a labour of love, a heritage, a traditional costume that is timeless. An attire for all occasions, it is elegant, feminine, alluring, sensual, glamorous and fashionable for all ages.

Nowadays, we rarely saw women wearing this kebaya to go for event like marriage occasion or going back to village but they prefer to wear modern style of kebaya or kurung.
Do they think this traditional cloth is outdated in this modern time?
However still they are fashion designer who keep on sell it and some try to modify or alter it to be look more fashionable and can attract the interest of modern generation to love it.
