This dress is completely handmade from start to finish.  The design is painted with pure beeswax and hand dyed in a series of layers before being boiled clean.  

Measurements are taken with the dress laying flat, not stretched.  The style is designed to stretch gently, but not stretch out.  The style is reversible and can be worn with the batik design on the front or back.   

Material is 100% organic cotton.  Machine wash and dry only - this batik dress will not shrink.  Please do not hand wash, pre-soak, or hang to dry.  These batiks are made to last for years, if not decades, with basic care.

Other sizes are given as reference.  This listing is for a size Small (pictured)
