Most ethnic groups in Sabah use black as the dominant colour of their traditional costumes. The use of black stems from the belief that black is a godly colour and represents power that will protect the user from the bad spirits. Other beliefs state that the use of black is synonymous with the way of life and natural conditions at that particular time.
These decorative bands, appliquéd borders, and richly varied embroidered designs came to be one of the unique features of Asian / KadazanDusunMurut traditional dress.
