REMARKS BY ROY HAMILTON (1988): Example of the Ende and Lio woman's blouse style known as "lambu". Women's sarongs are always worn in combination with this style of blouse. The "lambu" is an introduced garment. Elderly informants from the Lio interior recall that in their youth older women wore no upper garment. Presumably the wearing of blouses took hold first in the Islamic Ende coastal regions, only later spreading into the interior. The large scale conversion of the Lio population to Christianity through missionary activity beginning in the second decade of the Twentieth Century was presumably a major factor in the adoption of this garment among women in the Lio interior. "Lambu" were once hand woven from hand spun cotton, dyed black with indigo. Such blouses have now completely disappeared; not a single example could be found over a nine month research period. Currently "lambu" are universally made of store purchased commercial cloth made of synthetic fiber. Floral prints are often favored. The solid color cloth of this example is considered expensive by local standard and is appropriate for dress occasions or for gift giving such as at weddings. Older women generally prefer more somber colors. Cloth for "lambu" may be purchased in shops in Ende town, where it is carried in large bolts. In smaller shops along the roads reaching toward villages, pre-cut pieces large enough for a single blouse are sold. Most village women have access to sewing machines and they cut the neck hole and sew up the seams themselves. The cut of the "lambu" strongly resembles the South Sulawesi blouse style known as "baju bodoh". It was presumably introduced to Flores through the Makassarese sea trade network which had a profound influence over the developent of Ende culture.
