This delicate piece of Nyonya Kebaya was created using the magic touch of Mrs. Lim Swee Kim who holds the title of Nyonya Embroidery Master Craftsman. The kebaya is made from a lighter and more transparent cotton voile fabric using a fine knotted thread. The gold fish and spider web motifs add to the aesthetic value of the kebaya. Women of all ages are drawn to the Nyonya Kebaya and they are often seen wearing it during special occasions such as weddings. The beautiful top is matched with a batik sarong to highlight the marriage of the two attires, as well as presenting the Baba and Nyonya culture.
