TRENDSETTER Dip dye

The Trend

Dip-dye comprises of the same multi-tone colour story but unlike tie-dye is more muted and toned down in its colour palette.

The Fabric

Most dip-dye and tie-dye fabrics are now dyed with fibre-reactive dyes, which work best on cellulose natural fibre such as cotton, hemp, rayon, double gauze and linen. Rachel Pinheiro used the traditional navy double gauze from the Sibu collection to make this slip dress from Friday Pattern Company for us. This Oeko-tex certified double gauze fabric is available in these colourways –navy, ochre, tan/mustard and rust.
