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.
Exquisite Gift
This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.
