Golden Sunlight in the Purple Forest – Handmade Batik Pocket Dress, Size 2X

All Batikwalla garments are handmade and measured individually. Because styles and fabrics vary, we recommend comparing the flat measurements in each listing to a favorite item you already own.

Below is a general sizing guide to help you get a feel for the fit across different styles.

Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat. Double the bust measurement for full circumference.

✨Unisex Hoodie Measurements (Flat Lay, in Inches)

🧘 Yoga Pants, Shorts & Leggings 

These styles often feature a flexible waistband and stretch fabric. We recommend choosing your typical size based on how fitted you prefer your look. Specific measurements for rise, waist, and inseam will be listed on each product.

🪡 Tips for Measuring

• Bust: Measure under the arms, across the fullest part of the chest.

• Length: From the top of the shoulder to the hem.

• Waistband: For pants and shorts, measure flat across the top seam (unstretched).

🎨 Because It’s Handmade

Slight variations may occur — it’s part of the charm. If you’re between sizes or unsure, feel free to reach out for help picking the best fit for you.

I want you to love your handmade batik, but I also run a small art-based business — so here’s how I handle returns and exchanges:

🔁 Returns

I accept returns within 10 days of delivery, but they come with a 20% restocking fee. That covers handling, repacking, re-listing, and the occasional touch-up if needed.

• Email me first before sending anything back: victoria@batikwalla.com
• You must ship it back with tracking
• Garment must be unworn, clean, and in original condition
• Once I receive and inspect it, I’ll refund your payment minus the 20%

💡 Please note: Shipping charges are non-refundable.

🔄 Exchanges

I don’t offer traditional exchanges — I handle them case by case depending on inventory, timing, and the situation.

If something doesn’t work and you’re hoping to switch sizes, please email me with your request. If I can accommodate it, I will. If not, I’ll let you know what’s possible.

Pro tip: My handmade batiks tend to sell out fast. If you’re unsure about sizing, feel free to ask questions before ordering — I’ll always do my best to help you find the right fit.

✨ How to Care for Batikwalla Clothing

(from the artist’s hands to your everyday life)

Every Batikwalla garment is made to be worn, washed, and lived in. I boil each piece during the batik process to remove the beeswax, which also sets the dye and softens the fabric. These are not delicate or high-maintenance garments — they’re durable, comfortable, and made to last.

🌀 Washing Notes:

• Machine wash with like colors — warm, cold, or hot is fine

• Tumble dry is recommended — especially for hoodies and heavier knits

• Avoid bleach or harsh detergents

• No need to hang dry (unless you're backpacking through Europe)

Machine washing and drying actually helps. It’s not only safe for the fabric — it can help remove any lingering dye and make the piece even softer over time.

Most of my garments are sewn from knit fabrics like cotton jersey or cotton fleece — these were made to move, stretch, and relax. Whether it’s a hoodie, tee, or pair of yoga pants, your Batikwalla clothing is meant to go where you go — and come out of the wash looking even better.
