The history of Kebaya Nyonya 

(information web)

The development of Baba Nyonya culture was a gradual process of selective absorption and adaptation of outside cultural elements, while maintaining a Chinese core. The criteria and motivation for selecting these outside elements was linked to other developments within the Baba Nyonya culture and place it occupied within the hegemonic Malay culture. The Nyonya started wearing the kebaya at a time when both the Baba Nyonya community and the world around them were changing.

            Although the kebaya in general has been around for well over a century, the Nyonya kebaya first appeared in Baba Nyonya culture only at beginning of the twentieth century. The earliest photos showing Nyonyas wearing kebaya date to the 1920s. Ironically, while the kebaya’s emergence as Nyonya attire coincided with the renaissance of Baba Nyonya culture during the period of British rule in the Straits, its flowering as a distinctive form of Nyonya attire occurred during the culture’s decline.
