Still have a beautiful blue (!) silk sarong with a white cotton lace kebaya but there is here no reason for wearing it. Pieter also has a formal Indonesian silk batik shirt/jacket with lining. We only wear some of the Indonesian batik when attending a Dutch/Indonesian gathering in Atlanta with special Indonesian food.<br />Our foster-daughter is renting the traditional Javanese costumes that are only used for weddings. As you already mentioned here, they mainly wear Western clothing... Wonder if one generation down, they still will use the traditional costumes.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-1611410554717839292018-08-22T19:42:59.751-04:002018-08-22T19:42:59.751-04:00Liebe Sara,

Eu queria casar novamente, fazer uma cerimônia indiana e usar as roupas e joias indiana.
