Tie-Dyed

Izabelli Selma

Tie-dye is a process of resist dyeing textiles or clothing which is made from knit or woven fabric, usually cotton; typically using bright colors. Tie-dyeing became fashionable in the West in the late 1960s and early 1970s as part or rather the highlight of hippie style.

Style/DIY Tip:
DIY is the best way to revamp your old clothes! Get your white shirt or any plain old colored shirt in your closet that you barely wear, pick out a color that compliments your shirt, tie your shirt using rubber bands, then soak it with the color of your choice around 3 hours or overnight. If you want to dye a denim top, use bleach. Balance of a loud tie-dyed shirt with neutral pieces.
