DUSUN TINDAL KOTA BELUD

Dusun Tindal Costume
This colourful and seldom-seen costume belongs to the Dusun Tindal in the Tempasuk area near Kota Belud. The first time this bridal outfit was shown outside its district was at the 1991 Cultural Pageant.

Like most of Sabah's traditional costumes, it's basic black with splashes of colour here and there. This two-piece outfit consists of a long-sleeved blouse (sinipak ) and a knee-length sarong (gonob ).
The sleeves of the blouse have hand-embroidered panels on the upper arms. Just at the elbows, the sleeves are slashed, extended and several pieces of other coloured cloths are sewn in. Layers of black cloth with gold trimmings (sunduk do sunalatan ) are draped over the right arm.Then, a pair of red-hued sashes cross over at the front of the blouse while around the shoulders a dastar cloth is transformed into a wide draping collar (selindang lolopot ).
The gonob or sarong is made from cloth woven by the Dusun Tindal themselves using yarn from processed pisang lanut (Musa textilis).
Adorning this costume are rows and rows of antique beads strung together to form a wide belt (kinokogis ) that stretches from the waist down to mid-thigh. On top of the kinokogis, four silver dollar coin belts (sinipogot ) are worn.




Other antique jewellery items worn with this costume are several pieces of hand-engraved silver bangles (saring pirok ) on each arm, silver earrings and hand-engraved silver pouches with chains (kiupu ) worn around the neck.

KADAZAN PENAMPANG

sinuangga'    Blouse with short sleeves and U-neck worn by younger women.
 Sober embroidery along the opening for head and arms,and along the seams at the sides and along the middle of the back:and cream cotton yarn. Main stitches: sinusuk bulus (chain stitch), tantop (flanel stitch) A flanel stitch technique is also used to make binuunsi', a narrow band of needle weaving in red and yellow looking somewhat like shoelace.Betawi buttons are looped through a string on the inside. This way, the valuable buttons can be used for various blouses. Betawi buttons used to be fixed all the way up to the neck for ceremonial occasions and half way up from the lower end of the blouse for daily wear. Nowadays, this appears not to be differentiated. The buttons are tied together from the top down to the bottom of the blouse with a cotton thread.
The gold-plated silver Betawi buttons were a status symbol for the Kadazan Penampang. If one could afford a set of thirty buttons (sonsolobuan), one was considered a wealthy person.
sinompukung     Blouse with 3/4 sleeves. No embroidery. Usually worn over the sinuangga' like a jacket when the wearer goes out of the house, such as to visit a friend.  Nowadays, the sinompukung is often embroidered and worn by older women as a blouse instead of as a jacket as in the olden days.

tapi'       Long cylindrical wrap-skirt, formerly of plain black cotton. Nowadays often enlivened with siring: gold trimming, running over the hips, in front of the skirt, crossed by another band of trimming from the waist down.
 himpogot    Silver "dollar" belt. A maximum of three are used depending on personal wealth, one around the waist and the other two above and below the tangkong.



tangkong    Hip-belt of approximately 84 embossed brass rings on rattan strings (hindavog). Three tangkong are worn together, alternately strung with red (hindagang), black (initom) and red rattan strings for unmarried girls and all black for married women. The string is always "bare" somewhere at the back to avoid asampon (lack of breathing space). Later in life the tangkong are stretched out for various reasons, one of which is so that it is easier to carry a back basket.
