Other than common checkered motifs, other woven or print methods might be employed as sarung; such as batik, ikat, songket, and other kinds of "tenun" traditional woven clothes. Sarongs are used by various ethnic groups in Indonesia. They are made from a variety of materials such as cotton, polyester or silk. Indonesian women wear traditional costume called kebaya as upper garment, while for lower garment they wear sarongs dyed in the batik method, with flower motifs and in brighter colors. However, in Javanese culture, the wearing of batik sarung is not restricted to women on formal occasions such as weddings.
