Batik Block Printing

The ancient art of Indian block printing includes distinctive regional styles. In all cases it is a labor–intensive, exacting craft. Teak wood blocks are hand carved with a variety of motifs and there is a wooden handle for the artisan to hold while stamping the cloth. The design can be dipped in dye and stamped directly. However, for Batik block printing the design is stamped with a wax resist which will block the dye when the fabric is dipped in dye. Multiple stampings and dyeing can produce complex patterns and colors. The wax is removed by melting it in very hot water, and the melted wax can be reused. Skilled artisans can combine different techniques to create uniquely beautiful fabrics.

Comfortable, semi-dressy cotton dress
Oct 3, 2024  |  By Nancy T.
Useful and particularly flattering for mature ladies who do not want to show a lot of skin... Probably equally suitable for younger women with delicate features.

Prettier in person
May 28, 2024  |  By A big fan
I found the background color of this dress to be a slightly brighter blue than the catalog or website showed, but I'm perfectly OK with that. The fabric was a little heavier than I expected, too, but again, that's fine. It's still light enough to wear in a hot summer while working in a building that has iffy air conditioning. I love all my Marketplace dresses---unique looks, natural fibers, comfortable designs, fair trade, and POCKETS!

Love the smaller neck. My bra strapps don't show. Can't wait to wear it out.
