A True Piece of Art
Everything about this robe (Misty Javanese Forest) is exquisite: the colour is stunning and more intense than in the picture (did not fade a bit in a wash), the design gorgeous, the workmanship impeccable, the fabric very pleasant on the skin and the fit perfect, even for a tall woman like myself. I was so thrilled with this housecoat that I immediately ordered another one from the same artist. Parwati (I believe this is your first name rather than Desak), I found that Parvati in Sanskrit means "of the mountains" and is a goddess of love and power - I am honoured to be wearing your beautiful creation, which exudes these characteristics of your name. And NOVICA, the beautiful packaging together with the handwritten note with a few phrases in Balinese was very touching - like a present from a friend. This was my first purchase from NOVICA and it exceeded my highest expectations. Spreading happiness around the world indeed!

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.
