African Batik Mudcloth Batwing Caftan Dress Mumu Elephant Cowrie Shell Plus Size

Description: New without tags/ never worn Vintage Hand Made/ Dyed / Printed in Africa Cool Crisp Woven Cotton Fabric Same design & cut on back Reversible Back to front & Inside out New without tags, never worn, gorgeous, vintage caftan from Africa. It has the rectangular garment shape with bat wing sleeve style. I’m not sure if this is called batik or mud cloth but it has a beautiful shades of purple with white, the pattern is a print of cowrie shells positioned in flower design. The front features tie dye veining and three elephants. Generously sized and styled to hang loosely (no drawstring or belt), this should fit most people up to a size 3X. It can also be worn inside out or reversed front to back. If worn inside out, the surplus fabric is on the inside so style looks a little different, but fit is roughly the same minus a couple inches. Check measurements below to be certain of fit. Cowrie shells represent fertility, feminine mystique (shape of the shells ;) and wealth/ prosperity. Elephant motifs symbolize luck, strength and wisdom. Measurements: all measured laid flat~ Top of shoulder to hem: 49” Across chest (between inner seams) 31” Across entire garment laid out: 41” Arm opening: 13” Across midriff between seams: 30” Across hip area between seams: 30” Artisan garment : No brand, size or fiber content tags. Appears to be 100% cotton Since this is a large piece of fabric with minimal cuts, you could use it to make many different things! A baby quilt would be super easy to make! Thanks for looking!
