Batik dress is a craft that has high artistic value and has become part of the culture of Indonesia (especially Java) for a long time. Javanese women in the past made their skills in Batik dress for a living, so in the past, Batik dress work is exclusively women’s work until the invention of “Batik dress Cap” which allows the entry of men into the field. There are some exceptions to this phenomenon, namely that the coastal Batik dress masculine lines as you can see in shades of “Mega Clouds”, which in some coastal areas Batik dress work is common for men.
Batik dress tradition was originally a hereditary tradition, so occasionally a recognizable motif Batik dress originated from a particular family. Some Batik dress motif can indicate the status of a person. Even today, some tadisional Batik dress motif is only used by the family court of Yogyakarta and Surakarta.
