I was concerned that these might be too big because the description said they are extra wide, but I have no problem wearing them and they fit exceptionally well. I love batik and the colors and patterns of nature, and these masks are even more beautiful in hand. They are made of two layers of rayon sewn together expertly. Any place I go away from a formal business environment these masks will be my first choice to wear. I will likely hand wash them in cold water to preserve the batik and ear elastics. One of my favorite finds on Novica that I was not even looking for. Thanks for the extra care put into making these masks!

I have purchased multiple, beautiful pieces from Omi and have never been disappointed. They have all been lovely and unique, each one from the other. You can see the human touch in the slight variations of the designs. No two are exactly alike and I love that. Thanks so much Omi and Novica!

Very happy with this lovely tunic! The colours and design are exactly as in the photo and its a perfect fit. Im 1.58cm and chose L because often enough womens wear is too tight fitting. I was a bit worried the sleeve length would be too long but this is not the case. Im pleasantly surprised how well cut the tunic is. This is definately the work of an experienced dressmaker. Another plus is that the fabric doesnt require ironing after washing.
