Kebaya: Indonesian Traditional Clothing

Hello, everyone! I want to share about "Kebaya" in this post. Kebaya is a traditional clothing from Indonesia. In this picture, my nieces and I were wearing Kebaya when my cousin was married. The name of the Kebayas used by my cousin is called “Kebaya Basahan.” Why is it called “Basahan”? The reason is: when we are wearing this Kebaya, it looks like we are just wrapping our body with towel (since it only covers the chest).

 

“Kebaya Basahan” originates from the City of Solo (one of the towns in Central Java that has strong cutural influence). If you visit Indonesia, do not forget to go to Solo and the nearby area.

 

(I hope for a correction, thank you)
