A baju kurung is a loose-fitting yet very stylish skirt suit. It is made up of a straight skirt which has pleats on one side for ease of movement. The blouse is designed to be equally tailored in appearance and sits straight across the shoulders before dropping down usually part way down the thigh in length. The Baju Kurung is a gorgeous modest garment, and is the national dress of Malaysia and is worn by people throughout Oceania. There is also a male version of this same outfit.

This example combines the timeless beauty of the Baju Kurung silhouette with another Malay traditional art form - batik textile design. This is a modern batik design and is striking while maintaining a formal sophistication with the lavender/grey design against the soft white background. The outfit is made of satin silk jacquard fabric, so it feels wonderful against the skin. It also doesn’t need ironing, making it perfect as work wear for people with desk jobs where blouses end up crushed throughout the day. There is just no negative to owning this suit!
