People are more accepting in Jakarta but if you are going anywhere else be more conservative than less.
I keep a thin shawl to throw over my head and upper body so that if I feel uncomfortable I can quickly throw it over. I also wear long sleeved cotton tops and long pants.This is suitableforvillage wear and the more conservative areas.
I would recommend cotton tops and pants (or longer skirt).The top part of the arm at least should be covered and shorts/mini skirts should be avoided.
