The bright blue part are weaving stillation using indigo dyed threads (without blood fermenting).

The sarong only worn by male at its origin (Bulukumba, South Sulawesi Island). Some believe the sarong gives them wealth and power to avoids black magic (absorb it.. ? hahaha). Nowdays, this kind of sarong is hard to find, since Bulukumban people going to industrial area and neglecting their old tradition. Well it hapens everywhere, bytheway

Oh! It's like the same fabric made in China... by the Miao people They also use indigo and it's shiny. I handled it once --it feels like paper

What is weaving stillation ?

So the blood is to stabilize the indigo... How do you stabilize the chintz effect? Won't it disappear if you wash it? Sounds interesting!

Yes it crisp and delicate. weaving stillation, umm i don't know hoe to explain this one, coz in Indonesian they called 'stilasi'. It could be mixed of weaving techniques-perhaps. The only thing I did to keep the chintz effect is keep it away from water lol
