Baju Kurung (Jawi: باجو كوروڠ) is a traditional attire of Malays and traditionally worn by women in Brunei, Indonesia,[1] Malaysia, Singapore and southern Thailand. This type of traditional attire is the national dress of Brunei and Malaysia.[2][3] In Indonesia, this dress is also worn as a regional attire, commonly observed on the island of Sumatra, particularly by the ethnic Malay and Minangkabau women.
