I had to choose between these two fabrics. The top image is my husband's kain pelikat and the bottom is my batik sarong

This is my latest creation. Azalea-nna. A simple twin sister of Azalea pattern from Burdastyle. I had to choose between these two fabrics. My husband's checkered kain pelikat and my batik sarong. But of course, I've chosen my batik sarong - em, it's actually because my husband's kain pelikat is more expensive than my batik sarong, HA!

I skipped the upper and front pieces of the dress due to not enough fabric or matching fabric. Ugh...I don't wear dresses, well, not when I go out. Don't feel that I have sexy legs to show-off! Haha...And so I shorten it a bit and make it into a more A-shape. Still thinking whether I should add the belt detailed as in Azalea original design...Hmm...

The materials I use to make this azalea-nna are the leftover navy blue lightweight cotton for the yokes and my final batik sarong. Oh, yes, I also skipped the zipper attachment and luckily it can be made as pullover mini-dress, if not...

Well, okay, the truth is, I don't have the guts to attach the zipper...But hopefully one day I will.

So, this is it. My mini-dress..a.k.a tunic Azalea-nna with batik sarong design!! Tell me what you think.

P/S: I'm planning to buy more batik sarong since they make beautiful and unique creations if it goes with suitable designs. And will update on what is kain batik and pelikat

The most important things are that I get to show the beauty of Malays/Indonesian traditional batik sarong designs to the world.
