Traditional Indonesian Garments

Traditional Indonesian Garments
These Dayak elders in Indonesia wear patterned sarongs and kebaya, traditional Southeast Asian garments. The sarong, which consists of a brightly colored piece of cloth, is tucked in at the waist and draped as a dress or skirt. The kebaya, a long-sleeved jacket, covers the women’s upper bodies. Although their clothing varies in color and design, Indonesians usually use fabric woven from cotton that they grow on the islands.
