The “kebaya” is a form or traditional blouse that is worn by women in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Most kebayas are made from diaphanous materials, and are worn with a songket, a sarong, batik or any traditional knitted garment that has a colorful and detailed motif.
Most traditional women prefer the bridal kebaya over Western wedding dresses, not just because of the clothing’s cultural significance, but also due to the silhouette the dress creates. The right kebaya can easily accentuate your figure, giving you an incredibly feminine appearance.
To help keep up with the public’s demand, more and more fashion designers are looking for ways in which they can modify the kebaya design and turn it into a more fashionable dress. Most designers are also experimenting with different gossamer fabrics like lace, to create more delicate and appealing bridal kebaya.
Kebayas come in different colors and designs. The key to finding the perfect kebaya is looking at its embroidery or detailing. While most casual kebayas have simple floral embroidery, you will find more formal and intricate designs on kebayas with almost completely sheer jackets decorated only with delicate gold or silver embroideries.
