One day, I was shopping online and came across this shirt from Ann Taylor Loft. It retailed for $30, which led me to the challenge to create it for less.
Since the pink stripes were dyed, I knew I could use Tulip One-Step Dye and get the same look. It's really easy to make, and it only took me 10 minutes.

Supplies
-White t-shirt
-Tulip One-Step Dye (Fuchsia)
-Sponge Brush
-Plastic Cup
-White t-shirt
-Tulip One-Step Dye (Fuchsia)
-Sponge Brush
-Plastic Cup
Step 1- Soak the shirt in water and wring it out well. You want to make sure it's damp and not soaking wet.Step 2- Lay the shirt flat
Step 3- Fill your dye bottle with water, shake and pour into plastic cup
Step 4- Dip sponge brush into dye and draw a line across the shirt. Make sure to leave a lot of white space in between, since the dye will bleed.
Step 5- Let your shirt dry for 4 hours (I let mine dry overnight)Step 6- Through it in the washer on warm with some detergent
Step 7- Wear it and be proud that not only did you make it, but you saved some $$$
That's it!! Super easy and it's not your typical psychedelic tie-dyed look.There's so much you can do with tie-dye. I love it. In fact I like to dye Baby C's clothes that have stains on them or are starting to look a little shabby. It's a great way to repurpose your clothes.
Here's a bump shot for ya! 4 Months








That is a cute shirt for the spring and summer season. Thanks for sharing.
