Things to be Grateful for
is for Kebaya
When I lived in Singapore in my teens my mother and I loved to shop for Batik Sarongs and separate embroidered Kebayas. A kebaya is a long, jacket style blouse made of thin fabric. It comes from traditional wear in Malaysia and Indonesia and was originally worn by European women living in the East in the 15th century. They are very beautiful garments. Here are some examples.
Wow, pretty!! I love the 4th one, blue-green, with very sharp ends and pink flowers. So beautiful!

That's my favourite one too. I do have a mauve lace one but it's too big for me now!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are beautiful. I love that same one too!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I'd love to have one -- or more!
