We may know kebayas because they’re usually worn by Peranakan women as traditional outfits, like in the television series The Little Nyonya. Did you know that they’re also commonly worn among many other ethnic groups? Kebayas are actually top garments and are usually made with lightweight fabrics like cotton or lace, filled with intricately embroidered designs.

A baju kurung is traditionally worn by ethnic Malay women. This costume originated in Sumatra and has become the national dress of Brunei and Malaysia. Baju kurungs tend to have a loose cut and are full-length. They usually come in a matching set of a blouse and skirt that can be made with different fabrics, colours, and patterns.
The influence of Western culture transformed the look of the traditional baju kurung. Bolder prints and a tighter fit are what makes a baju kurung modern. From prints and padded shoulders to sweetheart necklines and ruffled collars, the variations of baju kurung modern are endless. Combining the heritage of traditional baju kurung and the sophistication of Western fashion styles, it’s no wonder baju kurung modern are so unique and popular among the younger generations now.
