Spring 2008 Trend Alert: Tie-dyed fashions

dvf tie dyed dressWhenever I think of tie-dyed garments the first thing that comes to mind is 'summer camp' -- not going to summer camp (I was far too cool for that) but actually teaching summer camp. Working with dozens of children assisting them in creating a garment that was destined to be a disaster. Deep down I think the kids knew that their tie-dyed creations were a disaster too because they were seldom worn outside of campgrounds.

That was then, this is now.

When left to professionals, tie-dye can actually be cool. From dresses to swim wear, expect to see tie-dyed apparel make an appearance in your everyday attire this coming spring.

I am a fan of the floor length tie-dye gowns, they give an easy-breezy sort of feel and are easy to throw on and walk out the door. Pair your tie-dyed garments with flat gladiator sandals and a hobo style bag for a complete look.
