About this Product
This tie dye is amazingly VIBRANT!
You will definitely make a stunning statement wherever you go wearing this skirt/dress!
Geode patterns have been created on this rayon Festival Skirt/Dress in dark blues, purples, and a touch of gray. Elasticized smocked bodice/waistband measures 6" long. When laid out flat this skirt/dress is a large rectangle which creates an asymmetric hem when worn. The rayon is soft and luxurious. Hideaway straps can be tied to be used as spaghetti straps when wearing as a dress; tuck the straps inside when wearing as a skirt.
For this listing only, the front hem measures 3" shorter than the back. Damage which occurred during the dyeing process had to be cut off and a new hem made; the hem was sewn with purple thread. Because of this hem length change this skirt/dress might make for a longer Top to be paired with leggings (not provided).

Care Instructions:
Wash: Hand wash in cold OR Machine wash in cold water on a Delicate setting.
Dry: To dry it is best to lay flat or carefully hang. If you decide to use the dryer please dry by itself and use the lowest heat setting. (IMPORTANT: Rayon is delicate when wet, drying with other heavier items runs the risk of damaging the fabric.)
Iron: Warm iron, as needed. Do not hang the dress by its straps for extended periods of time...this can result in stretching of the bodice.
Reasons for discounted price: shortened front hem and two locations of minor fabric abrasions caused during the tying process (which have been mended using fabric adhesive to prevent the abrasions from widening). Photos 9-12 (not on the mannequin) show close ups of the small areas of abrasions which are on the front of the skirt/dress.

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Old Goat Tie Dye!
My name is Patricia and I offer handmade one of a kind tie dye items.
I started making tie dye in the early 2000's under the name Lake Tye Dye. It all started with a tie dye kit and a few baby bodysuits and it soon became an obsession with color. Not only do I make tie dye using traditional liquid dyes I also now make a majority of my tie dyes using ice. Yes, you read that right...ICE.
Why did I choose the name Old Goat Tie Dye?
Well, it's because I love goats & I make tie dye...and this "old goat" isn't getting any younger.

Quality of my hand dyed items...
I am 100 percent confident that you will love your new item.
Each item is dyed using professional Fiber Reactive dyes which chemically bond to the fibers of the garment instead of simply staining it as other less expensive types of dyes can do.
With proper care your dyed item will last years with no fading.
Each item is inspected for damage and if any problems are found they are noted in the description and the prices are adjusted accordingly, if necessary.
Please keep in mind the garments that I sell are not sewn by me, however, they ARE hand-dyed by me.
............................................
Washing and Care Instructions...
After the dye process my items are thoroughly rinsed by hand and are then put through at least two full HOT wash cycles to remove excess dye. Please keep in mind that although my items have been thoroughly laundered you will still need to wash with LIKE colors. Upon receiving your new tie dye, be sure to launder the item before wearing, especially those meant for babies, with your usual detergent except those noted below. I have not used fabric softeners or dryer sheets after laundering, however, the textile detergent that I use leaves a slight floral scent.
For the best results (COTTON):
+ In cold or warm water, wash inside out with like-colors and your usual laundry detergent but do NOT use OXICLEAN or similar OXI detergents as they may slightly alter the colors.
+ Do NOT bleach.
+ Tumble dry low. (Unless noted within the product description; some items require line-dry to avoid further shrinking or damage.)
+ Items with Iron-On or Patches...line dry or tumble dry low (inside out)...press with a low heat iron with garment inside-out.
For the best results (RAYON & MODAL):
+ In cold or warm water, hand wash OR wash in a machine on Delicate. When washing in a machine, it is best to wash your rayon item in a laundry bag to prevent the machine from damaging the fibers. Rayon is delicate when wet. Do not wring or stretch.
+ Do NOT bleach. Do not use "oxy" products as noted above (in cotton section) as these detergents may alter the colors.
+ Best to line dry. Hang in such a way as to prevent overly stretching the material. You can also tumble dry on the "air" setting or the very lowest setting. Must be tumbled alone, however, tumbling with dry fluffy towels helps speed the process.
Treat your new tie dye with gentle care and it will be around for years to come! :-)
PEACE & LOVE!!!
