Busana Cik Siti Wan Kembang (Kelantan)

Named after the legendary Queen of the state of Kelantan, Busana Cik Siti Wan Kembang was worn by aristocrats during her reign from 1548 to 1580.

The main piece is wrapped around the upper torso like a kemban, and a wide shawl on the shoulders, accessories and jewellery complete the whole look. The dress is usually made of stiff songket material, interwoven with luxurious golden threads.

Nowadays, this attire is no longer worn by the Malaysian women because of its impracticality, but it still remains special and part of our rich traditional culture.
