As international consultants we have been several times aboard a Singapore Airlines flight. In-between we saw numerous times the Singapore Airlines Stewardesses in their beautiful uniforms, especially during our stopover at Singapore airport. In 1968, French Couturier Pierre Balmain was asked by Malaysian Singapore Airlines to design uniforms for their cabin crew. Balmain based his design on the traditional Malay sarong-kebaya. Very much like the Indonesian sarong-kebaya. Below, you will also find a link to my post about me wearing my silk Indonesian Sarong Kebaya...
Pierre Balmain designed borders around the hems, neck and cuffs, using cut edges from traditional batik fabric. Each uniform is fully tailored, with a minimum of two fittings with each crew member for her 4 new uniforms annually.
Singapore Airlines is also the world's most awarded airline
The epitome of Asian grace and hospitality, the Singapore Girl has been synonymous with Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines with the heavenly destination of Bali.
I have been to Bali twice and Pieter went there on vacation with his daughter Liz.
For both of us fond memories.
We also went to Singapore several times.

In addition to being very pretty, the company Singapore Airlines hostesses radiate in this uniform by Pierre Balmain, a French couturier. Since 1968, the outfit remains unchanged and will not go out of fashion: how can one not fall in love with this pretty floral bolero in midnight blue?
Have you ever seen those pretty sarong kebayas from Singapore Girl?
