History of Tie Dye

On first hottest day of the year I decided to do a little shopping in center city, where the tall buildings barricaded me from the blazing sun. I was able to give my new F21 dress a little show, paired with this adorable thrifted chain purse and my BcBg bow sandals, which I can never get enough use of. This lightweight, tie dye maxi dress was appropriate on a day like this. "Tie dye", a print created by preventing the dye from reaching some areas of the fabric while dyeing others, is correlated with the era of the hippies. Unknown to many are its real roots that date back centuries ago.
