B. Kebaya Pattern
Kebaya is a traditional blouse that is very identical to Indonesian women. In its use, kebaya is usually combined with batik cloth, jarit cloth, sarong or songket fabric. In the past, the material to make kebaya was very thin, but now the material is diverse with diverse motifs as well.
According to the origin of the word, kebaya is derived from arabic namely ‘Abaya’, which means clothing. Kebaya was originally from China, which then spread to Malacca and Indonesia, especially Java, Sumatra, Bali, and Sulawesi. But in its development, after experiencing cultural acculturation, kebaya was able to be accepted as a local traditional garment. There are other opinions that say that kebaya is indeed a traditional garment native to Indonesia. This is after noticing that the shape of kebaya is different from traditional Chinese clothing often referred to as Cheongsam.
The earliest form of kebaya was first discovered during majapahit kingdom. At that time kebaya was combined with kemben which is often used by women in the kingdom, which at the same time shows that the wearer is an aristocrat. Kebaya made the bodies of women at that time wrapped up innocently and simply, so that it was acceptable to islam which at that time was also growing rapidly.
