Traditional Malay attire tends to be conservative. Ladies wear the baju kuriong or sarong kebaya. Embroided edges, decorative
motifs and textiles like batik gives the simple attire a distinctive appearance. Some also wear the selendang or tudung, head coverins that conceal ones head and neck.
Malay men wear the baju melayu, which consists of a long sleeved shirt, trousers and a kain sarong. On official occasions, they wear a plain samping, a sorong that reaches the knees. After they go on the haj Muslim men usually wear a songkok, a velvet head covering.

Well, that was a great job done, Kampong Glam girls. You actually explained how the costume would look like and what material it is made of. That is something that not everyone can do!And with that, the teacher grading this blog would give you high marks.
