Although Malay women are famous for their Baju Kurung, kebaya sometimes is also being worn for both formal or informal occasions. The "kebaya panjang" is a knee-length, long-sleeved blouse, worn over a sarong. It is often elaborately embroidered with floral motifs on the cuffs and the front lapel, with a neckline that is usually 'V'-shaped. "Kebaya panjang" resembles "baju kurung" in many ways. The only differentiation is it splits and fits in front of the dress, secured with "kerongsang" brooch. The original "kebaya panjang" was designed to reach the ankle, only an inch from the bottom of the sarong, with sleeves that were wide and long.
