The batik storm has finally, gradually, subsided. For the last couple of months, they were everywhere. On everyone. In every color, shape and size. In a way, it's good that at last, we show some respect to our country's heritage, but in another, it merely became a wave of trend, which, as I mentioned above, has slowly subsided (replaced by florals, ha).

I too was almost swept by the wave, but remembering my aunts and grandmas' extensive collection of batik garments, though better not to add to the pile.

Except for one, because it's patchwork, which most certainly wouldn't be found in my aunts and grandmas' lot..
