Recently during October 2017, I was given a Batik from BeautiQ to review which you can see from the picture above. Was pretty excited as this is my first time reviewing it.

Background of BeautiQ

BeautiQ is actually a new online shop based in Indonesia with distributor in Johor Bahru. The founders created a mobile online shop by operating their business through e-commerce using platform like Lazada and Instagram as a marketing platform. In additional, their main products are batik clothing material and cosmetics. 

With the online platform, they aim to introduce the business to socialise Indonesian batik within the region.

Batik is a technique of wax resist dyeing applied to whole cloth. It is made either by drawing dots and lines with a spouted tool which you can see from the picture. Do you know that many Indonesian batik patterns are symbolic? There are certain batik designs are specially reserved for brides and bridegrooms an also symbols designed to carry infants in batik slings to bring the child good luck. 

In order to make a batik, selected areas of the cloth are blocked out by brushing or drawing hot wax which the cloth is then dyed. The cloth will then ready to wear after the final dyeing of the wax is removed. 

Ways of wearing Batik?

Batik can transform into many ways such as tube dress , sarong , scraf which you can simply google it to find out more. I love the blue colour and details of the Batik which was given to me. 

Below are examples of 2 different ways you can wear the Batik, thanks to Elgena's for helping me out. 

Batik Shawl

Batik can also use it as a shawl by wrapping the fabric over a plain dress or top to add colours and patterns. This will then instantly transform a simple outfit to a different feel. How can you do it ? Just wrap the cloth on your back and tie the ends in front of your chest / stomach.
