Batik robe 'Blue Anemone' by Desak Nyoman Parwati
This arrived on time and I love it. It came in a nice material draw string pouch that can be used for other things. There was a nice little envelope with a hand written note on a small colorful greeting card. I'm 5' 1" and it was not too long. Still a few inches for someone even shorter. The product is very professionally handmade and sewn. There is even pockets on either side - which is nice. There's a little loop inside on the back collar to hand the belt as no loops on the robe - perhaps to look nicer. I washed it right away in cold water with Woolite. No noticeable bleed of color...It's made of 100% Rayon. Care is on a little tag inside. It says to dry flat and you can iron it if want... but I just hung it wet and it didn't need ironing. Very happy with the purchase.

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 warm weather top!
This is a lovely & comfortable top for warmer weather. The medium size fits my UK size 12 frame perfectly, & the points of the hem reach the mid thigh on me - I'm 5 foot 4 inches tall. It's slightly fitted in shape but loose enough to skim nicely over any lumps & bumps, the flowing style will keep me cool, & l especially like the three-quarter length sleeves. I haven't worn it to go out yet as it's too cold here right now, but I look forward to showing it off when spring comes around, & I think it would be great for travelling in. The colours are a little more muted than they appear in the photos, but it's still very pretty!
