Hati Hati Dress

In Bali, "hati" means heart, but "hati-hati" translates to "watch out" and is commonly seen on hazard alert road signs. The genesis of this dress's name came when I unveiled my first finished sample to my partner and friend, who jokingly shouted "hati-hati!" as if my mere presence in the dress might cause an accident. While I certainly didn't intend to inflict any beauty-related harm, I can confidently say this dress is a guaranteed head-turner.

Here are a few tips for choosing the right size for the Hati dress:

• If you have a larger bust, go for the size that fits your bust measurement.
• If you're smaller on top but curvier at the bottom or have an hourglass shape, consider that the dress's booty area stretches more than the top, so prioritize your sizing based on your bust.
• The midriff of this dress is incredibly stretchy; some moms have even worn it comfortably during pregnancy!

If you prefer a looser fit on top or don't feel like you have an hourglass figure, pairing the Hati skirt with a looser top might be a good option. This way, you still get the booty-hugging action while enjoying some flowiness on the top. However, you might be surprised by how much you love yourself in the dress compared to just the skirt.

95% high grade non-pilling eco rayon / 5% spandex 

Unlike most man-made fibers, rayon is not synthetic. It is made from wood pulp, a naturally-occurring, cellulose-based raw material. It was also made in a closed-loop process, meaning the by-product that some rayon productions release into the waterways is here re-used and therefore qualifies as an eco fabric. 

Care Instructions:

For optimal longevity, wash your dress in cold or warm water and air dry it. While it won't be ruined in the dryer, keep in mind that the lycra and elastic content, which contribute to its amazing stretch, may degrade faster under high heat. This applies to all stretchy fabrics. Additionally, consider looping the tail of the dress over the hanger to reduce strain on the neckline. You want wear and tear to come from wearing it, not from hanging in your closet.
