Women's Fair Trade Batik Robe, "Emerald Birds"

This handpainted batik robe is a truly original work of art. Sunlight, water, dye and temperature all factor into the look of the finished robe. This should be considered a unique design made especially for you. Colors and pattern placement will vary.

"Absolutely Beautiful!"
I am so very happy with this dress. It is even prettier in person-the different colors in the batik work stand out and are gorgeous. The fit is perfect and the construction and fabric professional.. I can wear it with a t-shirt, or dress it up with a little jacket or shawl. Very good purchase!
