Traditional Attire

The Malay people in Negeri Sembilan are known with the title "Orang Minang" or Minang People.This is because most of the people here are come from the Minangkabau people which can be found in the Minangkabau State,Sumatera.

The tradisional costume of Negeri Sembilan is a prominent feature from Minang people (Bukit Tinggi).The resplendent attire of the women consist of an exquisitely embroidered headdress shaped like a buffalo horn and an elaborate velvet shoulder cover displaying intricate needlework.


For men, we wear a jacket adorned with gold thread embroidery,woven samping or waist cloth and fashioned tanjak also known as headgear.





Above is the picture of Minang ladies from Bukit Tinggi, Sumatera (Indonesia). Hmm.. it si similar with our traditional attire right? =)

And this is my mother picture! During her wedding day (1982). Wearing our traditional attire! Hehehe! =)

Lastly.. my auntie also wear Minang attire during her wedding! =)..

Hope you will come to our states!! Have a nice day!!!
