>Having recently visited Malaysia, I noticed that with the rich multi-racial composition there, and had it been a longer vacation there, I would be able to see and to discover a lot more about Malaysia women’s fashion wear.Although Western fashion has influenced most of the younger generation, there were still strong manifestations of the cultural fashion with Malaysian women.
Take the Kebaya for example. It is also called the Baju Kurung in the Malay language. This is an exquisite design with great emphasis on the slim midriff. When worn it accentuates the female body contour and in a most graceful manner.
I can’t imagine how I would look dressed in a Kebaya. Gosh! I would have to shed quite a lot to look good and to fit in one of those body hugging Kebayas.
The dress uniform for the stewardesses in the Malaysian national airline carrier is the Kebaya. It must be physically tiring for their stewardess to wear the Kebaya particularly when flying on long hauls.
As I understood it, the Kebaya is mostly worn by the Malays and the Nonyas (a race from intermarriage between the Malays and the Chinese). It has a long history that dates back to the ancient Majapahit Empire in Indonesia and the rise of Islam in the region. The name itself “Kebaya” has its etymology from the Arabic “abaya” which means clothing.
