Nyonya Sarung / Sarong

A sarong or sarung, meaning "sheath" in Indonesian and Malay is a large tube or length of fabric, often wrapped around the waist and worn by men and women throughout much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, the Horn of Africa and on many Pacific islands. The fabric most often has woven plaid or checkered patterns, or may be brightly colored by means of batik or ikat dyeing. Many sarongs have printed designs, often depicting animals or plants.

The sarong is common wear for women, in formal settings with a kebaya blouse.
