The Azalea Dress - Sri Lankan Batik

The Azalea Dress - Sri Lankan Batik

Stunning pink maxi dress batik’d by our artisan partner Vinaldi, who also models for us. 
She has created some fabulous one of a kind pieces for the shop. This dress in cotton is soft and light. The straps tie to fit accordingly. The batik is a beautiful addition to the look on the bottom portion of the dress. 

Batik originated in Indonesia and was introduced to Sri Lanka by the Dutch at the turn of the 19th century. Since then the batik industry in Sri Lanka has developed into a unique form of textile art exclusive to the country.
It started as an art of fabric dying, but soon batik evolved into a vibrant industry of fabric art in Sri Lanka expanding in different areas of fashion and home decor. 
In Sri Lanka you see most village women in beautiful, vibrant batik dresses. 

This dress is such a wonderful example of a typical Sri Lankan dress.
