Wrap Pants in Asian Brocade

Description

This listing is for one pair of I Dream of Asia Jakarta Pants by Fabulous Pants. The fabric is a black background brocade with vibrant Asian motifs in shades of red, green, and white. The fabric content is a polyester nylon blend.

These pants are based on a traditional Indonesian and Balinese wrap pant and are handmade by dancers for dancers. They are contoured in the hip area to better fit a woman's curves rather than having the flat fabric panel that most wrap pants have. The pants can be worn in two different configurations, changing the look of the pant entirely! If the pants are tied front first and then to the back last, they look more like a skirt. If the pants are tied to the back first and then to the front. I love clothes that are multipurpose. I have worn this type of pant not only for dance and yoga, but also to weddings, dinner parties, on cruises. They are a wonderful conversation piece.

Jakarta Pants are a one size fits most style pant. The outseam of the pants is 36 inches (91.5 cm). Why measure the outseam? Different people will wear their pants lower or higher on the hips, so this is the most accurate measurement as to where the cuffs will lie. The Jakarta Pant will also fit most waist sizes, but not all. The natural waist sizes that most comfortably fit are 32 inches (81 cm) up to a 45-inch (114.5 cm) waist. I recommend that all Jakarta Pants be dry cleaned to keep their luster and weave best intact. They can be hand washed in cold water with a light detergent, but some luster loss will occur over time, and machine washing is not recommended. Bleaches of any kind should never be used due to the harm it will cause the fabric.

I will happily ship to places outside of the United States. Please convo me if you are interested, so I can get you accurate shipping options and estimates for your location. Thanks so much for your interest!
