that dress looks pretty nice!!!
I have a ton of Ikat salwars...I will be cutting and hemming and re modelling!!!!
We ended up at the cheesecake facory and we hated it!!!We always go to Houstons but I am so bored with it!!!But I guess its back to Houstons from now on!!!
Very authentic dress you got. Ikat (or pua as it is also known) originates from the Iban tribe in Sarawak, M'sia. You can search them online, not sure if there are online stores selling ikat/pua finished products, but these things come cheap here. Ranging from home decorative items to dresses to pareos, even clutches and bags, you name it, there's a lot of ikat things in Sarawak!
i never know it was called ikat!
lovely dress! and come to think about it, my mum has an ikat cardigan!
This sort of pattern is everywhere indeed, good purchase!
Thanks mer and romeika!
Vintagebunny, I can't wait to see wait to see what you make out of your Ikat salwars!
You're so knowledgeable Lynn. I'm so jealous that you can get pua/ikat items on the cheap!
Eleh, make sure you post a picture of yourself wearing that cardigan - it sounds fabulous.
nicely executed!
it makes a nod towards the designer looks, but you make it your own...
those flats are so neat!
Cute dress!
Love the dress. God, I wish we had a Zara here.
