How do you call this kind of baju? Normally in West Malaysia, they call it Kebaya Nyonya I guess. Because when I search for this type of baju at Jalan TAR, I will asked, "Kak, ada jual Kebaya Nyonya tak?".
But, here in my hometown we use to call it Baju Draw. Why Baju Draw? Because they will draw the design on a white paper before they do it on the material (kain kasa rubia). And it's very hard to find the person who still do this (in a traditional way).
Last year my mom and myself went to Dalat (4 hours driving from Bintulu), semata-mata nak pergi tempah Baju Draw. hee..hee..hee.. Actually the tailor staying in the same kampung with my friend. My friend is the one who introduce the tailor to us, otherwise the tailor won't accept it sebabnya nak tempah baju tu takes time nak siap and mahal. Paling tak lama pun 3 months. Besides, the tailor takut once baju dah siap orang tak nak bayar sebab mahal.
Our first tempahan actually dah siap last year, I wore it during my civil wedding. And my mom wore her Baju Draw during my wedding reception. Lepas tu, we tempah another one sebabnya baju itu tersangatlah halus buatan tangannya compare with the one that I bough in Jalan TAR. Walaupun mahal, but i'm satisfied.
And yesterday, I received my Baju Draw. Happy banget tau. Suppose to one for my mom (light green) and one for myself (dark green). Tapi, my mom so frustrated sebab when she tried the baju it didn't fit her, sungguh longgar. Maybe the tailor terambik my size. So, my mom bengganglah sebab baju tu tak muat. Tapi aku yang untung sebab it fits me. Yey!!!!
And my mom plan to tempah another new one sebab she still have extra kain kasa rubia tu.
