If seen from the front view, "kebaya Perlis" is similar to the shape of other kebayas but if seen from the rearview, it looks like a kebaya that has the same gussets as a "baju kurung" with no stitch on the shoulders. The size of "kebaya Perlis" is also loose, which make it suitable for people of plus size. In the past, it was made mainly using "Kasa Rubia" fabric as songket was totally prohibited except for the brides and royal families. Since the fabric was not easily available anymore, chiffon and songket fabric were made common.
