Baju kurung is a traditional dress for Malay women. This shirt is suitable for all groups of people regardless of age. Baju Kurung is usually used to attend weddings, religious ceremonies, and official ceremonies. In Malaysia, generally Malay women wear baju kurung as a traditional dress and this includes the formal wear of primary and secondary school students. It's just that the design and cut of baju kurung varies quite a bit from state to state. Now there are many variations of baju kurung and it is known as Baju Kurung Modern. Although the baju kurung has evolved in line with the changing times and the wearer's taste, the design is still the same. It is still comfortable and sweet to wear in addition to showing the modesty of Eastern girls and the superiority of Malay culture.
Baju Kebaya also evolved with the birth of various types of Kebaya. In the past, there were only traditional shirts, short shirts, and long shirts. But now there are various designs of Modern Kebaya Shirts that are beautiful and contemporary.
Baju Kebaya has a slightly rare shirt (blouse) that is often styled together with inner or shapewear. Women also use brooches to complete the style, ensuring that the pleats lie neatly. Kebaya is often paired with an A-line skirt or a mermaid skirt; you can also style it with batik sarong tied around the hips.
Baju Kebaya is also famous for its complex lace decoration and floral embroidery. For that reason, this Malay Traditional Dress symbolizes everything that is elegant and feminine. Just like most types of Modern Baju Kurung, Baju Kebaya accentuates the cut of the waist to show off your figure in a non-exaggerated and stylish way.
The difference between Baju Kurung & Kebaya can be seen from the type of design cut of the shirt. This includes the use of pesak, straight and loose-cut cakes for Baju Kurung and the arrangement of cloth that fans out at the edges still remains today.
Kebaya is seen as a beautiful traditional dress where the cut of the shirt reveals a slim and charming figure. For example, kebaya Nyoya gets the most attention among all age groups.
