My first handmade "baju kurung"

I spend about one month to finish my messy stitches Baju Kurung. I sew it without using sewing machine...hahha I hope it will last long and the stitches not loose.

Introduction to Baju kurung

Baju Kurung is the traditional dress for the Muslim ladies in Malaysia.It is simple and graceful,and covers most part of the wearer's body in complaince of the Islamic teaching.

While maintaining its simplicity in cutting,the varities of colour and designs are amazingly wide.
Malaysian office ladies,including Muslims, wear western dresses to work, the baju kurung is reserved for special occassions like festivals,weddings and official functions.

However,they will go to the office in Baju Kurung on Fridyas,some non Muslim ladies like Chinese and Indians do the same too; for the simple reason that it is graceful and comfy.Therefore don't assume that a lady in baju kurung is a always a Muslim.
