This is my first posting for Show and Tell Friday. Thanks to Kellis at http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/ for hosting this event.
Im going to share with you fellow bloggers out there - a Nyonya Kebaya once belonged to my late mother. I guessed this kebaya is already more than 45 years old and I have kept it with me for nearly 11 years since she passed away. This kebaya is still in good shape and the embroidery is still neat and in good condition. Kebaya is a tradisional blouse worn by Malaysian women. Normally, it is made from sheer material and is worn with a sarong or kain batik lepas.
