The
baju kebaya is also one of the favourites among the traditional Malay
costumes especially during the 1960s.
Baju kebaya is usually made according to the wearer’s size. A person with a lean body is fit to wear the baju kebaya for public gatherings.
The baju kebaya is worn with the kain songket or batik. The kebaya (the upper part of this dress) which is usually tight-fitting and short, is nowadays worn as a loose-fitting costume and does not usually be the wearer’s size.
The baju kebaya’s design is not so complicated. It only has one colour and doesn’t have as many decorations as baju kurung, that’s why it’s perfect to be worn at all times.
