Here again some new tie dye look

This new tie dye look is something different from the design that I talk about earlier. Most of the tie dye clothing I have shown before was the tie dye on black background. But the good combinations of tie dye colors are look really interesting on white background too. Also this tie dye technique is look more abstract like painting on the white canvas.

By use of lines and shapes tied in with the garment structure and pattern we can accentuate features. The manipulation of the center dart can create the heart shape on the bodice with the open lapel. The center pleat skirt complements the v shape torso. The use of matching v shaped straps on both front and back of dress ties the entire pattern into a cohesive design.

The ability to alter the dress into three different looks shows the versatility of this design according to how we wish to wear it. The use of full skirt design pattern creates the peplum which is inspired by the eighties look. Alternately the peplum can be removed to expose the designs of the pleated skirt underneath. Finally the peplum can be worn over the shoulder as a cape for evening wear.

The choices of how to wear 80s revolution dress

The eighties revolution dress is inspired from the clothes of the 1980’s period. By using textile patterns and materials of that age we help to express the feeling and the style of that era. This period’s use of pegged skirts with peplum is mimicked in the revolution.

The use on asymmetrical lines in the patterns of the clothing helps our eye see what is perfect in imperfections. The non symmetry at first looks like a flaw, but upon closer inspection it can be deduced that the asymmetry is designed on purpose. As each of us individuals on this planet are made perfect by our little flaws and imperfections so is the clothing we will wear that is designed to be a little bit off the ordinary path. The minor imperfections by design are there to show us how we are all created perfect because of our imperfections.

Lisu costume inspired outfit


Clothing designs inspired by the Lisu hill tribe should be as bright and colorful as the Lisu people. They are an animated and bold people whose clothing is lively, bright and designed to catch the eye. They are known for the highly intricate bands of brightly colored cloth strips that are applied to the ladies clothing as armbands and accent pieces.

Lisu: Northern Thai hill tribe

Villages of this colourful ethnic group are originally from southwest China. They can be found in China, India, Myanmar. A few drifted into North Thailand from Burma [ Kengtung ] and can now be found at Fang, Mae Hong Son, Sukhothai Tak, Khampaeng Phet, Phayao, Lampang and Chiang Rai. Lisu’s women wear brightly colored blue or green colored striped tunics, split up the sides to the waist, a wide black belt and blue or green pants.
