Lovely Batik!
Desak~ I had to alter it because I'm NOT a tall model at 4'10"s! I measured and chalked, reshaped the lower sleeves so they would not drag in whatever I am doing, shortened the sleeves and hem 5 inches, sewed in a large snap ( so I would not have to wear a tie around my waist) and voila! The batik is beautiful! Not easy to take a full length photo...but perhaps you can see the sleeve.
Elegant style
I had a beautiful poncho somewhat similar to this which I finally wore out. This is a finer texture than the bamboo cotton and the fringe carries a lovely sheen. The medium weight drapes well, perfect for those warmer fall days. The accompanying note read "thanks for your support, hugs" in Spanish. Well besos y abrazos to the wonderful women weavers in the co-op who so skillfully and lovingly support war survivors. You are amazing! As ever, I wear your beautiful work with love and pride.
