Indonesia consists of many islands that have diversity and high-value cultural heritage that reflect the nation's culture. One form of cultural heritage that can be preserved is in the form of traditional cloth, namely weaving. An example of weaving with a distinctive pattern is the Sikka Ikat Weaving. Sikka Ikat Weaving is the oldest ikat weaving in Indonesia and has a high meaning and philosophy. The uniqueness of the inspiration for the initial creation of the motifs comes from the surroundings of the environment in which it is made in the form of flora and fauna, besides that there is a result of hard thinking between the weaver and God so that it can create beautiful and diverse weaving motifs. However, people's interest in woven products is still limited in use and can only be seen in a few groups of people. For this reason, there needs to be an effort to introduce the diversity of these motives to the community as a form of product preservation. The need for innovation to create new products that are inspired by their motives to add value to a product. The development of the results of the exploration of motifs inspired by the Sikka Weaving Ikat motif focuses on the use of intricate embroidery backgrounds. The results of the development of this motif are applied to fashion products in the form of semi-formal clothing so that they can help people find their own attraction to get to know the cultural value of the Sikka Ikat Weaving fabric to the community.
