Batik Block Printing

The ancient art of Indian block printing includes distinctive regional styles. In all cases it is a labor–intensive, exacting craft. Teak wood blocks are hand carved with a variety of motifs and there is a wooden handle for the artisan to hold while stamping the cloth. The design can be dipped in dye and stamped directly. However, for Batik block printing the design is stamped with a wax resist which will block the dye when the fabric is dipped in dye. Multiple stampings and dyeing can produce complex patterns and colors. The wax is removed by melting it in very hot water, and the melted wax can be reused. Skilled artisans can combine different techniques to create uniquely beautiful fabrics.

I got two dresses. Both fit and looked really good. The fabric and sewing...exquisite. Thank you sooo much, ladies and gentlemen sewers, dyers, batik and block-printers!

I love this dress! So easy and comfortable to wear and wash. I own several of your dresses, tops and a skirt and I love them all. Quality workmanship or should I say "woman"? Anyway, thanks for such dedication to excellence.
