A
Kebaya is a traditional blouse-dress combination worn by women in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Burma, Singapore, southern Thailand. It is sometimes made from sheer material and usually worn with a
sarong or
batik kain panjang, or other traditional woven garment such as
ikat,
songket with a colorful motif.
The earliest form of Kebaya originates in the court of the
Javanese Majapahit Kingdom as a means to blend the existing female
Kemban, torso wrap of the aristocratic women to be more modest and acceptable to the newly adopted Islam religion. Aceh, Riau and Johor Kingdoms and Northern Sumatra adopted the Javanese style kebaya as a means of social expression of status with the more
alus or refined Javanese overlords
.
The name of Kebaya as a particular clothing type was noted by the Portuguese when they landed in Indonesia. Kebaya is associated with a type of blouse worn by Indonesian women in 15th or 16th century. Prior to 1600, kebaya on Java island were considered as a sacred clothing to be worn only by
royal family,
aristocrats (
bangsawan) and
minor nobility, in an era when peasant men and many women walked publicly bare-chested.
