Nyonya Wedding Costume 2

I am pleased and proud to own this complete set of Nyonya wedding tunic top and dress. An example of the same pink tunic like this (But just the top) was exhibited in Peranakan Museum in Singapore months back.

It is from Jakarta, Indonesia, around early to mid 20th century, and features various motifs embroidered in gold thread. Indonesian Peranakan wedding costumes tended to be more extravagant than the ones used in Malacca, Penang and Singapore. The costumes were often sewed with pure silver or gold threads with some complemented with unique sequins onto their designs.
