I prefer my baju melayu plain and traditional with none of those fancy design gimmicks. Got mine tailored at Omar Ali TTDI.

Yeah how much does Omar Ali in TTDI charge? I did not ask them when i went to their branch in Jln TAR.

If you use their material, the price range is RM400-600+, depending on the type of cloth that you picked. Workmanship alone is RM200+.

like this....

As expected. The picture captured that part only, i u just ask me i thought baju kurung. 

I am just going to buy 1 at a departmental store size S. Won't be wearing it more than 10 hours a year really.

I got a light blue baju melayu and am not sure what color sampin and button should I match it with? Its similar to this color, (without the dark blue floral pattern)

That one looks more like turqoise. Very hard to match anything. If it were light blue then it would not look greenish. But last time i had a bicycle and i painted it turqoise and lilac. Much like your purple baju. Both color match kaw kaw. So u probably should be looking at a purple sampin i think. But depends la how your taste. Its either you dress to impress or dress for self fulfilment.

Was thinking of striking red and match it with a pair of  Red nikes af1 clot, it's actually for a school event to celebrate national day so by all means I want to dress to impress

hmm first time here trying to tailor make a baju melayu

went to jakel mall to get the material RM18/meter for valente? or something like that i cant remember how it's spelt haha

so now trying to find a tailor. seems like Bak tailor is recommended? is it still RM150 per baju melayu? or varies depending on branches?

any help is much appreciated

Few year already this.  Actually there isn't really a challenge to get it tailored by any of the people at Jln TAR. Workmanship about the same i think. all traditional style. The only challenge is when u want to get something like this.



Slim fitted style one. I don't think the old style tailors can do it without making a few first. When i got mine its traditional. I thought i wanna go vintage kaw kaw and have the pants width at the hem same as the thigh same like 1950s one.

Whatever the case, i think if you can find anyone to do it for less than RM100 more desirable.
