Takeaways

• 😀 Start by holding the *jari cari Wiru* cloth and unfolding it, measuring it against the right side of the body.
• 😀 Ensure the cloth is positioned in the front center of the body and adjust the fabric for a smooth appearance.
• 😀 Secure the fabric tightly with a string, but don't tie it too tightly to avoid difficulty in untangling later.
• 😀 Use a stagen (body shaper) by wrapping it from the center, moving upwards first and then downwards to cover the tied cloth.
• 😀 Secure the stagen tightly using one or two pins to ensure a firm fit.
• 😀 Add the Cinde cloth by starting from the top and wrapping it around in a spiral motion, tightening it as you go.
• 😀 Make sure the Cinde cloth finishes on the side rather than at the front and secure it with two pins to maintain tightness.
• 😀 Position the sabuk Cindy belt at the front, tightening it if necessary and pinning it with a large safety pin.
• 😀 Ensure the space between the Cinde and sabuk at the back is two fingers wide for a balanced look.
• 😀 Insert both arms through the rompi (jacket) from the back, then button it all the way up to the neck for a neat finish.
• 😀 Attach the keris (traditional dagger) on the right side, with the long end facing right and the curved part on the left, ensuring it’s visible over the clothing.
• 😀 Secure the blangkon (headwear) in the correct position on the head and wear traditional sandals or selop to complete the outfit.

Q & A

What is the first step in wearing a Beskap?

The first step is to hold the 'Wiru' and fabric, then open it and measure it on the right side of the model to ensure it fits properly.

How do you adjust the fabric to fit the model?

After measuring the fabric, rotate it to adjust the fit. The blue part of the fabric should be placed in the middle of the chest, and any excess fabric should be tucked back into its original position.

Why is it important to tie the stagen properly?

Tying the stagen properly ensures that the Beskap fits securely. The tie should be firm but not overly tight, and the string should not be too loose or 'dead,' as it can be difficult to untie later.

What is the purpose of using pins during the process?

Pins are used to secure the fabric and stagen in place. You can use one or two pins for added security, ensuring the Beskap stays tight and neat.

What should be done after wrapping the Cinde fabric?

After wrapping the Cinde fabric, make sure to tighten it by pulling the second layer downward. Tuck the remaining fabric neatly and secure it with pins, ensuring the fabric ends on the side and not at the front.

How do you handle the Cindy belt if it is too small?

If the Cindy belt is too small, gently pull it to make it fit. If it still doesn't fit well, secure it with a pin for a more comfortable and snug fit.

What is the correct way to wear the rompi (white vest)?

To wear the rompi, both arms should go in at the same time. After putting your arms through, pull the rompi to the back and fasten the front buttons to ensure it fits neatly and securely up to the neck.

How should the keris (traditional dagger) be positioned?

The long part of the keris should be positioned on the right side, while the curved part should be placed on the left. It should be worn diagonally across the body.

What is the correct way to wear the Blangkon (headgear)?

To wear the Blangkon, ensure the front is facing inward and place it securely on your head. It should fit properly to complete the traditional look.

What is the final step in wearing the Beskap outfit?

The final step is to wear sandals or selop and check the fabric for any loose or untidy areas. If everything looks neat and secure, you can remove the pins. If the outfit isn’t fully set, leave the pins in place until it’s properly adjusted.
