A kebaya is a traditional blouse-dress combination that originated from the court of the Javanese Majapahit Kingdom (today Indonesia), and is traditionally worn by women in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, southern Thailand, Cambodia and the southern part of the Philippines.
The Kebaya blouse is commonly semi-transparent and traditionally worn over the torso wrap or kemben. It is usually adorned with floral pattern embroidery.
A traditional kebaya blouse has no buttons down the front. To secure the blouse openings in the front, a decorative metal brooch is applied on the chest. It can be made from brass, iron, silver or gold, decorated with semi-precious stones. A typical three-piece kerongsang is composed of a kerongsang ibu (mother piece) that is larger and heavier than the other two kerongsang anak (child piece). Kerongsang brooches are often made from gold jewelry and are considered as the sign of social status of aristocracy, wealth and nobility, however by commoners and peasant women kebayas are often only fastened with modest safety pins (peniti).
The Kebaya blouses I bought in Singapore are all plus size to make sure the blouse will fit to European women which are usually much taller than Asians and have therefore longer arms.
You can buy the presented Kebaya blouse which has the German plus size 44/46 for 59 Euro either at bauhinia-moden.de/kebaya_schwarz.html or at www.henna-und-mehr.de/de/boutiq.html#kebaya_schwarz.
