Second part of my shoot was a special one. My mom (and I) wanted to wear this Red Kebaya, for outdoor photoshoot during my wedding. But we could not do it at the time so we do it a year later.
At first we thought this was the same kebaya my mom wore on her wedding reception on my dad's side some 33 years ago.
It was said to be a gift from my Opah (my dad's mom) to my mom. And believed to be worn also by my Opah during her weading. Seems to good to be true rite?
But in the end, after checking back old photos, it is NOT the same dress. However my Opah did gave it to my mom as a wedding gift. As for whether my Opah did wear it on her wedding day, we still haven't asked. But at least we knew the Kebaya must be at least 33 years old and still in pristine condition.
Says a lot on the quality of Songket made 30 years ago. So here are the photos.
(One that my husband is wearing is rented from a local boutique, not easy to find the one that could match the old kebaya though, so we just make do with whatever on the rack)
