Designer Fabrics for Baju Kurung — Selection #1

Mar 22, 2009 by     16 Comments    Posted under: Selection

I once saw a friend of mine used designer’s fabric for her Baju Kurung (Baju Kurung is a traditional wear for female Malays), and it does look nice!!! :inlove: Thinking of making a few pairs of baju kurung too, using designer’s fabric. I’m also a fan of Amy Butler and Valorie Wells and I absolutely love the whimsical, pop retro, vintage and bright colors of their design. So, I’m planning to buy a few yard for my dearest self ;)

4 yards of 44″/45″ cottons can be made into 1 pair of baju kurung.

8 yards of cotton plus shipping will cost me; 8 x USD8 + USD12.95 = USD76.95 and that’s about RM300++ :o ps:

My selection

 
Daisy Chain by Amy Butler

Olive Rose by Valorie Wells

painted garden by kaffe fassett

So, what do you think? ;-)

      nak tempah tu tak pasti lah pulak, sebab baju kurung my mom yg jahit. Kalau ade measurement atau baju contoh… boleh lah :o ps:

    nk tanye,yg kaffe fassette xde utk yg pre-order eh?tq..

    • shambie adzhan April 21, 2009 at 7:50 am

      kaffe fasset belum ada utk preorder.. kain ni susah la nak dapat.. bila susah nak dapat, harga nya jadi mahal! :o ps: saya ada cari-cari jugak la, market price nya, lebih kurang 9usd++ belum kira shipping charges lagi.. huhu

      Anna Maria nya Chocolate Lollipop pon dah limited. High in demand. Dah tak print. So, jadik sangat mahal.. :P

    hai, shambie.Saya pernah surf kat internet tentang pattern dan ada jumpa la kain daisy chain etc ni. dalam hati teringin nak buat baju kurung kalau ada jual kat malaysia. tapi tetiba jumpa web u ni rasa makin kuat keinginan nak try beli kain ni. tapi agak mahal pulak.
    thanx for posting.

    • shambie adzhan September 14, 2009 at 11:41 am

      agak mahal ke? :o ps:

      saya rasa harga nya ok je sebab saya memang suka pakai cotton. :)

      saya dah serik beli kedai-kedai biasa ni sebab saya pernah beli dekat Jakel, RM40++ semeter. Pastu saya balik kampung jalan-jalan masuk kedai kain, terjumpa kain yang sama design dengan yang di beli dari Jakel..

      tapi dijual dengan harga yang sangat murah. :angry: Harganya sangat murah sebab corak tu dicetak atas cotton kualiti murah (tekstur dull dan sedikit berbulu)

      sedih tau. rasa tertipu :yuck: huhuhu

    I particularly like the olive rose ones. The painted garden designs are just too outstanding for me. :)
