Note the colors on this unique batik in the close-up pictures.
The dress itself is completely handmade from start to finish. The fit features an A-line shape, with seams down the side, front, and back. The raw cut edges are secured with their own finishing detail, also sewn with organic cotton thread. The fabric is soft and sturdy. This style stretches gently over the course of the day, but it does not stretch out.
The design is completely reversible and can be worn on the front or back.
Fabric content is 100% pre-shrunk, soft organic cotton knit. Care is easy: machine wash and tumble dry is recommended. These batiks are made to last for years, if not decades, with basic care. Avoid hand washing if you can. If you are traveling and you must hand wash, try to extract as much water from the fabric as you can, and dry flat on a towel in open air.
The sizing for this dress can be considered a Medium/Large. The model is a size 4-6, as a reference to fit and design.
