Tie Dye Process

I got a big bleach blotch on one of my favorite dresses and instead of throwing it out I attempted to camouflage it. I tie dyed it with bleach so that the discolored spot would look intentional. It did not turn out like I wanted but here are my process photos.

If you ever find your self wanted to tie dye… make sure the rubber bands are VERY tight! Lesson learned. Zander also got a great shot of the dress drying. At least we got a cool photo out of the process.

All of these photographs will also be linked to my August Break Set on Flickr.

    thanks! I was hoping to keep more of the original purple color in the middle of the dress… it still looks pretty cool.

    Oh it came out lovely! It looks like the embroidered parts didn’t bleach out – how interesting.

    Thanks for visiting my blog – yours is great and I’m adding you to my reader.

    @cottagegardenstudios thanks! It did not turn out how I planned, but now I know the rubber bands need to be really tight!

    Love the contrasts – soft and rough, light and dark, feminine and masculine… =)
