Ngepan Indu Iban - What Accessories I wore for BHF 2011

Ngepan Indu Iban (Part II)

Rawai Tinggi



One of my most loved accessories is my Rawai Tinggi. Rawai Tinggi literally means "high corset". It is made of rattan strips covered with small brass rings. The corset is about 15 to 16 inch high and weighs about 4 kilos. It is believed that the corset is more than 50 years old or even perhaps 100 years?

Rawai Tinggi is a significant accessory worn by women of Saribas tribe geographically located around Betong to Saratok area in Sarawak. Since I am from the Saribas tribe, I wanted to show to people that the usage of Rawai Tinggi is still "in".

I felt that I have the responsibility to revive the Rawai Tinggi look rather than wearing the "official" Iban costume. It is even more sentimental for me as it is the first time wearing it after many years showcasing the "official" Iban costume...Thinking of wearing it again for my wedding.
Wanna bring the sexy back ladies?
