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.

Snug Fit
Jul 20, 2023  |  By Gardener
This long, long dress fits snugly across the chest (if you're tall, you may not find it so long.) If you're bosomy, you may want to order up. The shoulder straps don't conceal bra straps, if that matters to you. The fabric is a bit heavy for a warm weather outfit and is redder than it appears in the photo. But very well made, as always.

I love how light and comfortable this dress is. Fits loose to hide my tummy bulge but doesn't look dumpy. Great for the super hot days.
