Those Summer Camp Tees

When most people think of tie dye, they picture those speckled tshirts they made at summer camp when they were twelve. And ofcourse we've all become familiar with the good 'ol tie dye tshirt that we yank out of our closets for spring cleaning. But I look at tie dye a little differently.. It's great to be able to express myself by the way that I dress, by making what I dress! Like any tie dyer, I started out making only stereotypical tshirts, but now I am absolutely in love with dresses and anything crocheted. Tie dye definitally takes some skill, but having the right canvas to work on can turn a simple tie dye into something extra special :)
This blog is, if you hadn't noticed, a tie dye blog :). I have plenty to post, but we'll take it easy for the first go-around. And I'm sure you'd like to see something I have made.. This is my favorite tie dye. I originally bought it white at Old Navy for $20. I was shocked at the price, that's amazing! It is really nice quality and it hits the floor right at my ankles. There is a beautiful crochet design towards the bottom of the dress and under the bust. I love it :). I have wanted a maxi dress to tie dye since last summer, and I finally found the perfect one!!
I LOVE it! I thought it needed a little extra something, so I added some wooden beads to the front and to the ends of the straps. It definitally made it extra special :)
I will have PLENTY more where that came from. I am tie dye obsessed! And since it's summer, there is nothing stopping me :)
