Of course having lived and worked for many years in Indonesia I could not resist buying a formal Indonesian Silk Batik Sarong and a white cotton lace Kebaya. That is very much the traditional wear for the country. For normal wear it is made out of cotton batik and for special occasions the use of silk and other valuable fabrics is being used.
- Being blond and blue eyed, I fell for this blue silk batik sarong...
My photographer did cut my feet off...
It is quite an art for putting this on yourself!
With the use of a half corset, the silk batik fabric of the Sarong is being held in place. I do wear a white camisole under the cotton embroidered lace Kebaya/blouse.
My white embroidered lace Kebaya came from Batik Nyonya Indo
Purchased at Hotel IBIS, Jl Malioboro in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
My silk batik Sarong is from SAPTOHOEDOJO
Our boss in Indonesia did bring us there often.
They had a restaurant with delicious food and she had a beatiful Art Gallery and the best batiks in town.
We also did watch beautiful Javanese dancing in her theatre!
Glad that I purchased this silk batik Sarong at her airport shop...

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, so sorry for my absence lately, my friend!!!
Wow, GORGEOUS traditional outfit from Indonesia♡♡♡ Yes, you sure selected the right color and really is becoming on you♬♬♬ You said that "It is quite an art for putting this on yourself!" It makes me wish to see it how it works. And kind of reminded me the young days watching curiously my mother wearing kimono by herself p;)
You must be a lady with many rich experiences from various countries.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteYou are quite an art for potting this on yourself of a help corset and the silk of the sarong batik fabric of the sarong in hold in place.
A white camisole under the cotton embroidered lace look very nice too.
Have a beautiful time!

Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletediese Batiken sind richtige Kunstwerke und der Sarong ist wunderschön genäht und gestaltet. Er steht dir vorzüglich, aber das brauche ich dir nicht sagen. Du hättest ihn sonst nicht gekauft. Du hast einen sehr guten Sinn für tolles Styling. Danke für das Vorführen.
Liebe Grüße, Johanna

It's very beautiful (as are you)! The artisans in Togo do a lot of batik, too. I purchased a few wall hangings for my family. I find it very unusual - like nothing I've ever seen in the USA. <3
ReplyDeleteWow! You look immaculate in the kebaya, dearest Mariette.
ReplyDeleteThe color combination is stunning!
You have the perfect figure to pull this look off.
Hugs and blessings
