In her 42-second video, she showcased over 6 traditional outfits from Sabah and Sarawak. In her caption, Pudds shared that her last video for this series was planned in accordance with Hari Kaamatan and Hari Gawai, a harvest festival celebrated by the natives in Sabah and Sarawak.

With Syed Saddiq as her guest in the video, the pair then changed into a stunning outfit worn by the Iban called Ngepan Iban and Baju Burung. The sarong cloth that she has on is called ‘bidang‘. Traditionally, bidang when worn for certain ceremonies and celebrations would consist of various geometric designs and coloured with brick red and yellowish colours. Baju Burung is traditionally worn by Iban men that features a vest top, and a skirt like woven cloth as the bottom. The outfit is then paired with a silver belt, armlet, anklet and a headgear.

Following that the duo was seen transitioning into the traditional outfits of the natives called Orang Ulu. Traditionally, the outfit is decorated by beads and sequins and made with velvet material. The use of earrings, which are nicknamed ‘iseng‘, are made of copper to extend the length of the ears, which is a pride for women, especially for the previous generation.

They then showcased the traditional outfits of Orang Bidayuh. The traditional Bidayuh outfit for women consists of a short-sleeved or sleeveless blouse, ‘jomuh’ (skirt), and matching accessories such as the ‘selapai’ (sash), ‘pangiah’ (bead necklace), ‘porik’ (copper/ metal belt) and ‘sipiah’ (headgear). The men wear a ‘tawuop’ or ‘tahup’ (long loin- cloth wrapped around the body with one end hanging down in front and the other at the back), the ” burang sumba” (headgear) and occasionally the “kima” (armlets).

Subsequently, the duo moved on to the traditional outfits worn by the Kadazan Dusun, Kadazan Papar and Bajau Samah tribes. The Kadazan Dusun outfit known as ‘Sinuangga‘ is worn by women and ‘Gaung‘ by men. This shirt usually uses black velvet cloth embroidered with gold thread. It is worn during the celebration of the Harvest Festival or known as the ‘Tadau Kaamatan’ festival at the end of May every year.

The Kadazandusun Papar community has its own traditional clothing, where the women’s clothing is different from other Kadazandusun tribes. The characteristics of the traditional clothing of this community is to wear a long-sleeved black velvet blouse or called ‘siya‘ by the locals.

The women of Bajau Samah wears sampit badu blouses and olos sarong berangkit cloth, mandapun neck ornaments and sarempak head ornaments shaped like buffalo horns. The fabric that is commonly used is a combination of satin and velvet in various colors and sewn with gold thread embroidery. Bajau men wear Cekak Musang cut shirts, trousers, side skirts and hoods or known as destar.

Her short series that was created to celebrate and promote the beauty of traditional outfits in Malaysia was well received by many Malaysians with plenty of them commenting on how beautiful the outfits are!
