Baju Kurung Kedah Tradisional has a rich history and is influenced by various factors, including the influence of local culture and tradition as well as external influences such as Siam. Baju Kurung Kedah is a traditional women's clothing that is often used as daily wear and for certain occasions. It is believed to have originated in southern Thailand and was brought to Kedah through the influence of Siamese culture, and this can be seen in the Kedah Baju Kurung which almost resembles a Siamese short blouse.
The state clothing of Kedah, especially the Baju Kurung Kedah, is evidence of the rich history and cultural influence in the state. Baju Kurung Kedah is not only traditional clothing, but also a symbol of the identity and cultural heritage of the Kedah community.
