The method of this research is research and development, from processing cultural and natural resources, and then questioning the public about the suitability of the fashion function. The Kembar Mayang and Ronce motifs are interpretations of cultural objects always present in traditional Javanese wedding ceremonies. Kembar Mayang symbolizes the eternal love of the bride and groom. Ronce is the bond between the two that forms harmony. The natural dye of Keci Beling leaves and honey mango leaves brings out turquoise blue as the base and bright yellow in the pattern.
