The orange jacket and skirt are put together to become a traditional wedding costume for the Peranakan Chinese.

Orange was a very beloved color for the Peranakan Chinese and the coat is called ‘mang ao’ , dragon coat.

This color orange was called ‘kuning pinang masak’ and referred to the yellow/orange color of the betel-palm.

The coat has different embroidered motives like a dragon, phoenix, peonies, clouds, mountains and waves.

The dragon and phoenix together stand for marriage luck. The clouds, mountains and waves represent air, land and water and with that the cosmos.



WHY I picked this costume because I am interested in Asian culture and there history and crafts.

This costume fascinated me because I found out that in the time this costume is made there was a emigration stream of Chinese people coming to Indonesia.

Because of this mingle the traditional crafts of both lands merged together. Like Chinese embroidery with Indonesian batik.

Also all the pictures/ illustrations have a meaning and they value this a lot and they tell a sort of story.


This is something I like in a costume or garment, you can tell a story by this and in my own work I use a lot of prints.

I also wanted to link it with my Major Fashion design so I can discover new crafts and continue with my development in the major.


To make a replica of the wedding costume I want to do more research about the different illustations and meanings of these, discover more about the Chinese/Indonesian history and techniques used in this time.

After this desk research I want to start with material experiments to replicate the costume using modern day crafts or digital techniques and give the costume a new look.
