Description

Blouse with wide sleeves. A tie-dye technique has been used to make the designs. A certain pattern is made by gathering points of the undyed cloth. These points are wrapped in waxed cord and the cloth is dipped into the dye. The cloth will soak up the dye except for the wrapped points that will retain the original colour. Apart from tie-dying appliques have been used to decorate the blouse.
