Kebaya is a fabric designed specifically for javanese women with long-sleeved collared which completely by a kind of cloth that close their front body. Mostly it is used fabric "velvet" which is a kind of fabric that is soft and slightly sparkling. At the development, the kebaya is now developed with different models and certain variants. However kebaya remain a hallmark of Javanese women who depict modesty and elegance. Annie Avantie is the famous desiner kebaya is leading, his works are well known even to the international area. She is one of the nation's next generation of culture that deserves full appreciation. Especially for his services in developing, preserving and introducing kebaya to the outside as the culture and the wealth owned by Indonesia. Last and largest ever she has done is by holding anne kebaya show in Keraton Solo in May 2011.
Jarik is the second characteristic for the javanese women. Jarik is a long cloth used to cover the bottom of female body parts of Java. Generally jarik is a long patterned fabric "batik". Batik is generated from crafts made by painting a white cloth with a tool that called "canting". The art of batik painting is called "ngobeng". This is one of culture and wealth owned by Indonesia. Now batik is very famous, not only domestically but also until international. Batik has been recognized as a beautiful work of art that became a feature of Indonesia. Jarik is a batik fabric that has a lot of benefit. As a cloth to cover the bottom of the body, sometimes jarik used as a tool to hold the child as well as blankets. There are various shades of jarik worn by Javanese women including "sidomukti, rejeng, kawung", etc. Javanese women use it as a fashion to describe the elegance and propriety.
Another characteristic of Javanese women are "bun" that in Java it is familiar called”Konde”. Bun is a trimmer head that is usually used by javanese women to beautify the appearance. It is made from a collection of hairs are round or oval shaped like a woman's hair bun.
There are some characteristic of Javanese women in the dress that describe the elegance and propriety. Not only famous for graceful and polite in dress, but also graceful and polite high manner. They are maintaining in speaking and behaving. But at that time and growing increasingly advanced technology, culture and the typical Javanese woman began eroded by foreign culture into Indonesia. If you see Javanese women now itnis very different. Why not? Javanese woman known decorum in dress and behave is turned into an arrogant woman in dress and behave now. See many javanese women who only wear pants or skirts that are only partially closing their thighs with tangtop and other sexy clothes now. such a view is very different from the image Javanese women are polite and gentle. Javanese women have lost that image because many of Javanese women who prefer to leave their culture to keep abreast of the times. The modern women think that traditional dresses is old fashion.
However not all women leave the Javanese culture. Many of them prefer to maintain their culture despite the time passed and tegnologi increasingly advanced. Kartini, Dewi Sartika, Ms. Tin Suharto are Javanese women who still wear a woman's attributes such as Javanese kebaya, jarik and bun until the end of their lives. It is important for moral education and introduce Javanese culture to future generations, especially for the people of Java. This will be useful for sustainable nation's cultural and moral improvement of the nation. By introducing traditional culture to the students at school or with the introduction of the family culture of the nation's course will remain stable until the next generation. Because all culture is a very valuable asset owned by Indonesia. Move on Javanese women and let’s preserve our nation!!!!
