The fabric I wore as a 'wrapped skirt' is this cheerful 2 toned handpainted Batik Lasem, which I recently purchased in Yogyakarta. Took a bit of practice to got it securely wrapped! ;)
Matched it with a loose blue-turquoise kebaya top and this brooch with green stones accent, and a pair of cheap earings :P. Really, sometimes even the cheapest stuff can look 'expensive' if you wear them right.
And here's the final look! A simple look, and rather out of my comfort zone, since I normally would pick form fitting blouse or kebaya. What do you think?

Nice batik always make me happy ;)
DeleteThese pieces are so unique and have amazing details. I agree though I would have probably gone with a more fitted look on top, may be just belting or tucking in the blouse. So beautiful though.

Hey Serena, thanks for stopping by and following my blog!
DeleteThe 'hand painting' process consists drawing the pattern with wax before the coloring and dying process. Batik with more complicated patterns and colors requires multiple times the process of waxing and coloring, and hence the price can be seriously expensive :p.
That necklace is amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's a versatile piece of jewelery as it can be a necklace (just add chains), brooch (it has pins) and also scarf holder (has some rings behind)! :)
