In Reply to: Buying Dresses posted by Cathie on Friday, 27. August 1999 at 10:06 Bali Time:
We went to Bali in 96 and I bought some dresses. I musn't have looked at the workmanship well enough though. Most didn't last long. On fact, one that I bought at a boutique in one of the better hotels shrank and was unwearable. Another that I bought from a street stall in Nusa Dua made of a cheesecloth material was to mid-calf when I bought it (and I adored it!) but when I got home and washed it, it shrank small enough to fit a child! If you do buy clothing make sure you don't spend much or think of it as your holiday clothing.
