A kebaya is a traditional Malayan woman's garment in the form of a long-sleeved, hip-length blouse. It is worn with a sarong. Kebayas are often decorated with some form of embroidery, such as cutwork, needlepoint lace or stitched embroidery (both hand and machine forms). The blouse is often fastened down the front with brooches, known as peniti or kerosang/kerongsang, instead of buttons.
