DASAMUKA GANDRUNG : THE IDEA CREATION OF BATIK MOTIFS FOR READY TO WEAR

Abstract

_{Prabu Dasamuka or Rahwana was the king of Alengka who had ten faces or personalities. The}

_{Dasamuka Gandrung story was used to create batik motifs that were then applied to ready to}

_{wear clothing. The tragic love story of Dasamuka for Dewi Shinta serves as the main backdrop}

_{for the motif creation, with a focus on the deformation of Dasamuka's appearance, applied to}

_{primisima cotton fabric through batik writing techniques, dyeing, and the process of creating}

_{ready-to-wear clothing. Gustami's creation method uses a three-stage, six-step approach,}

_{including story exploration, motif sketch and clothing design, and the realization stage, such as}

_{pattern making, batik, dyeing, finishing, sewing, and finishing. This collection is designed for adult}

_{women aged 20–40 who need semi-formal casual. It consists of four pieces of clothing, namely}

_{Danastri with the Lara Branta motif, Lalita with the Harana motif, Apsari with the Adarma motif,}

_{and Cintya with the Susetya motif. This work is expected to introduce the Dasamuka Gandrung}

_{puppet character in the form of batik motifs to the wider community as an effort to preserve}

_{culture through ready-to-wear.}
