- Abstract
This study aims to describe the making process and the final product of modern Muslim wedding dresses inspired by the legend of Kemaro island folklore. The Double Diamond method was used consisting of 4 stages: discover, define, develop, and deliver. The study determined the source of the idea from the folklore of the Legend of Kemaro Island in Palembang, Indonesia. The Muslim wedding dress design will be realized and determined by the design criteria using the FEA (Function, Aesthetic, Expressive) model. Creating a decoration prototype and applying the stylized decoration of Palembang songket motifs with computer embroidery techniques were conducted. A final Muslim bridal clothing was analysed using the FEA model. This bridal clothing is for Muslim women who will get married with the chosen design consisting of a long dress and a long outer with lace sleeves. The outerwear is to disguise the body shape according to Islamic requirements while at the same time beautifying the appearance. Geometric ornaments are aesthetically applied to the collar, while the floral decoration is applied to the seams and front edges of the outer garment. For expressive considerations, the finished wedding dress resulted from acculturation and the influence of Chinese-Palembang and Islamic cultures.
