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.
