Moon Goddess Top, Black

Rayon batik. Light, breathable, and graceful in the drape, with the depth of pattern that wax-resist dyeing gives.

Four-point hem and pointed sleeves. A flowing silhouette that moves rather than sitting close.

Moon and star motifs. Lunar imagery on black, dyed into the fabric.

• Fabric: 100% rayon batik
• Cut: four-point hem, pointed sleeves, flowing silhouette
• Fit: one size fits most, up to XL; layers easily
• Color: black, with moon and star motifs
• SKU: FTLST15

Moon and star imagery is among the oldest decorative and devotional vocabulary there is, and a batik top carrying it is a way of wearing that association. It is not a ritual tool, and we are not going to claim it does energy work. It is a well-made, comfortable top that reflects a lunar aesthetic, worn to circles and sabbats by those who like to dress for their practice, and to anywhere else by those who simply like the look.

Good clothing needs no metaphysical justification. This is a nice top. That is the whole of the pitch.

1. Hand wash cold. Wash separately the first few times, since batik dyes can bleed.
2. Do not wring. Press the water out and hang or lay flat to dry.
3. Cool iron only. Rayon scorches easily; keep the heat low.
4. Wash it, do not smudge it. It is a garment. Clean it like one.

What is batik? A wax-resist dyeing technique where the pattern is dyed into the cloth rather than printed on top, giving depth and slight piece-to-piece variation.

How does it fit? One size fits most up to XL, with a flowing rather than fitted cut, and it layers well over other pieces.

How do I wash it? Hand wash cold, dry flat or hung, cool iron. Wash separately at first, as batik can bleed.

Does it match the skirt? Yes, the Moon Goddess Long Skirt is the same rayon batik and is made to coordinate.

Will my top look exactly like the photo? Batik varies a little from piece to piece, which is the nature of the method. Yours will be close but its own.
