Lately Channel 8 is showing Little Nyonya, their colourful costumes strike me. After asking around, I went to People Park Complex to take a look. Finally I found the shop that sell Peranakan clothing. The lady boss Hubby is a Babas and they do a lot of custom made Peranakan clothing.
I told her my theme, she show me 2 set of Baju Kebaya. First set was a dark red Kebaya and dark blue Sarong. Second set was a light blue Kebaya and red Sarong. I couldnt make up the decision becos both are equally gorgeous. Lady boss advise me to take the second set as light colours suit youngster more. She did show me a yellow Baju Kebaya, I fell in love at first sight. But I didnt get it as it didnt match my DND theme.
The Baju Kebaya is not cheap!!! This set cause me $148 and the Kerosang(brooch) cause me $35. The Lady boss explain that the Baju Kebaya is high end hand embroided. She made to measure the Sarong and altered the Kebaya for me.
A little embarrassing when she measured my waist and hip. She commented "Mei Mei your waist line (23 inch) is so slim and you have "big and full" backside (34.5inch). I was rather embarrass when she said that.
I didnt get the Kasut Manek becos, its not practical cos I wont be wearing it often. I match it with a red bling bling heels.
