Mengenal Model Kebaya Modern

Sumber: www.AnneAhira.com

Saat ini, tak sedikit wanita yang merasa lebih cantik jika mengenakan model kebaya modern. Selain berkaitan dengan historis pemakaian kebaya oleh wanita Indonesia sejak zaman dahulu, pemakaian kebaya memperlihatkan sisi feminin seorang wanita. Mereka bisa tampil lebih chic dan mempesona.
Berbicara tentang persepsi sebuah kebaya tempo dulu, kita akan mendapati ungkapan bahwa kebaya itu hanyalah sesuatu yang kuno dan formal. Pendapat itu tentu saja muncul berdasarkan perkembangan fashion yang selalu up to date.
Secara tradisional, kebaya sendiri sebenarnya hanyalah sebuah blus yang umumnya berlengan panjang. Biasanya, dipakai untuk menutupi badan setelah terlebih dahulu memakai kain atau sarung. Masyarakat Jawa bahkan menggunakannya sebagai busana sehari-hari. 
Di Indonesia, kebaya memiliki variasi yang berbeda-beda, bergantung pada pengaruh budaya lokal. Variasi tersebut tertangkap dari warna yang dipilih, bentuk, dan penggunaan kain yang menyertainya.
Masyarakat Jawa Barat lebih menyukai warna yang lebih terang daripada masyarakat Jawa Tengah atau DIY, misalnya. Mereka juga hanya melilitkan kain yang menyertai pemakaian kebaya pada badan tanpa disertai "wiron".

Modernitas Model Kebaya
Tak ingin dilupakan begitu saja keberadaannya, kebaya telah dieksplor sedemikian rupa oleh para penikmat mode menjadi sebuah produk yang lebih fashionable. Kebaya yang dulu bersifat tradisional sekarang menjadi bagian dari kehidupan modern yang terus bergerak dinamis.
Hasilnya, banyak bermunculan model kebaya modern. Pertumbuhannya pun menjanjikan, sebab semua kalangan sangat menggemarinya. Sekarang, siapa saja merasa nyaman berkebaya.
Model kebaya modern tampil lebih atraktif dengan memodifikasi bagian kerah, lengan, juga ukuran panjangnya. Sebagian model bahkan tidak lagi hanya memadukannya dengan kain batik. Namun, dipadupadankan dengan jahitan rok jadi dan juga celana panjang. 
Beberapa desainer dalam negeri bahkan sering memodifikasi desainnya dengan teknik jahit dan pemakaian aksesori yang tidak umum digunakan dalam pakem pemakaian kebaya.
Hasilnya? Kebaya menjadi tampil lebih mewah. Kebaya berkembang dari busana tradisional yang klasik menjadi busana papan atas dengan sentuhan modern yang menggoda.

Tips memilih model kebaya modern: 
  • Tentukan dahulu acara yang akan Anda ikuti. Biasanya, model kebaya modern untuk acara pelantikan lebih formal daripada untuk acara undangan pesta. 
  • Ukuran tubuh setiap orang tentu saja berbeda. Anda harus mengenali bentuk tubuh Anda untuk menentukan aksen kerah, lengan, atau panjang busana yang dapat menunjang penampilan yang lebih sempurna. 
  • Jika Anda memilih untuk menjahit pada seorang desainer, pastikan Anda sudah mengenal produk rancangan kebaya modernnya dengan baik. Masing-masing desainer tentu memiliki tema desain dan gaya yang berbeda-beda.

        Enhance Your Daily Creativity

        Executive Summary about Creativity by Evan G Peelle

        "There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly." - Buckminster Fuller

        There are so many things I love about being creative. Following a tiny creative "spark" can lead you to a great big idea that changes your life or the way you look at the world. Creativity can make our lives easier, charm us, entertain us and heal our souls.
        Yet so many adults feel they aren't creative. Today in adulthood you hold your black or blue ballpoint pen with great seriousness. Creativity is something you regard with curiosity and a bit of apprehension. Well "only" artists and people like that are creative after all. You can nurture your creative soul and awaken wonderful ideas of many kinds you can only dream about. Try these creative jump-starts to look at your creativity differently.
        Spend 10 minutes a day having pure FUN. Creative people know that being creative is fun. Your creativity does express itself in many ways. Bake homemade bread or cook a pot of delicious homemade soup. For those moments, just have fun. They will pay you with awakened creativity.
        Try StumbleUpon. Investigate the fun tool StumbleUpon to try stumbling upon new websites that they think you'll like based on your interests. So if you tell the StumbleUpon tool that you love dogs, running, chocolate and travel - it will show you many websites based on these subjects. Make it your intention to fill each location with beauty and items that welcome your senses. This will keep your creative receptors working even when you don't realize it. Our creativity is often inspired by things we see, smell, feel, sense, hear and otherwise sense in our lives.

        Boost Your Creativity in Five Minutes!
        Wouldn't you love to give your creativity a quick boost whenever you felt like it? Fortunately this ability exists all around you. Even if you don't think you are creative --- you are! If you breathe, sleep and exist: you are a creative soul. Trust that you have creative abilities. If you are trying to write a paper for school - try doing a few yoga poses. It is funny how this works but it always works.
        Have a Good Laugh. Try reading a funny email or sharing a good joke with a friend. Or watch something funny on YouTube or television. This deep, belly laugh will relax you and change the way you think. You'll be ready to be creative once you are in a better mood.
        Try Brainstorming. Simply start brainstorming ideas for the project, product or problem. This works great with a group or just by yourself. Even wild and crazy ideas are okay - don't judge the ideas that come. That wild and crazy idea could be the nugget that leads you to the idea that actually works. This is an ideal way to get creative fast!
        Do a Puzzle. There are many puzzle fans out there. For good reason! Puzzles activate your brain and help you think logically and in an organized way. But they also have you think in a creative way. Try a crossword puzzle where you need to know all sorts of different facts. Or a Sudoku puzzle that's all about numbers. Or a logic puzzle. There are many types of puzzles. Five minutes with a puzzle will have you thinking creatively and ready to work on whatever you desire.
