For a more formal outdoor event, the Jasmine Floral Pink cocktail dress delivers on style and sophistication. The collar is inspired by traditional clothing found in Eastern culture while the keyhole design adds a Western flair. It also has pockets!

The Jasmine Floral dress also comes in white. This cocktail style dress with a solid top and flared floral knee-length skirt brings a tropical vibe reminiscent of the Indonesian landscape, perfect for a beachside or destination wedding.

Understated elegance is always in style for a ceremony held in a traditional house of worship. The Smoky Floral dress bursts with black ruffles which cascade into a flower at the dress’s center. The rich color of the fabric comes from naturally made dyes in Indonesia. (This limited designer fabric can also feature a butterfly instead of a flower.)

When the invitation says “black tie optional,” turn to the fabulous High Low Batik Kebaya gown. Inspired by traditional Indonesian kebayas, this cocktail dress (with pockets!) has a purple and teal lining against a solid purple skirt. The top is sheer and sleeveless with an intricate woven design, matching the lining. The design is perfect for you to show off not only your shoes but your legs!

For a soiree held at home, you can’t go wrong with the Red Si Rara. This beautiful red, burgundy and brown dress is made with Ulos Si Rara fabric from North Sumatra, the home of our founder. The colors of the striped V-neck design represent life and prosperity while the bottom cascades into ruffles that mirror the neckline.

For swanky nuptials held on a city rooftop, try the Living Ocean Dress. Made of hand-loomed blue Ulos, an ethnic fabric of Sumatra, the delicate textured bodice dances in the evening breeze.

The Mendung Cloud Dress is the perfect choice when celebrating a city hall wedding with a brunch reception.  Made of viscose semi silk, which gives the dress its signature drape and luxurious feel, the cloud-like pattern takes influence from both Indonesian and Chinese culture. The Batik motif at the hem is called Mega Mendung, one of the most iconic from Cirebon, West Java. The dress comes in several different colors much like the gradients of Mega Mendung which represent the sky, the soil and the seven days of the week.

The Denim Jayapura Smock is the ideal dress for a wedding ceremony held in an art museum. This asymmetrical piece features fabric handmade in Jayapura, the capital city of Papua in Indonesia. The blend of American denim and the traditional hand woven fabric merges ethnic with contemporary.

For the union of two fashion-forward influencers, you’ll stand out from the crowd in The Shanghai Dress. The Chinese inspired gradient design has cap sleeves and ribbon accents. This unique green and orange dress has a sleek asymmetrical hemline with a high collar, inspired by Shanghai culture.
