Artisan Desak Nyoman Parwati creates a casual dress filled with natural Balinese elements. Abstract splash patterns are created through a traditional batik dyeing process, which involves an artistic application of wax along with the tie-dying technique to create complex layers of color. Shades of plum, cerulean and lapis evoke a seaside feel in this design that has two in-seam pockets on both sides.

“Just what I was looking for and better”

I get compliments every time I wear this dress. Its unusually hot here in Kansas. I need clothing that doesnt cling, is colorful and flattering. The hem adds interest to the cut of this dress. Very comfortable fabric that dries on a hanger and doesnt need ironing. I ordered a small even though I usually wear a medium. The small fits perfectly. Its flattering , cool, cheery and makes me feel proud to wear it. I will order another in another color when it comes out.

“Not the same.”

I have 3 of these dresses that I ordered in the past, and this new one is not the same nice quality. The fabric of this new one is heavier and rougher and doesn t feel as nice as the other 3. This is so disappointing, especially because the price has gone up.I won t be buying anything else from Novica.
