Custom Tie Dye

Recommended Posts

Hey. I am getting ready to order a freefly suit from Fire Fly. B| They do not offer tie dye, but Sherry said I could get the material dyed myself. Cool. I am waiting for some sample swatches. I want to do a purple on white tie dye on part of the suit to match my rig.

I can do a tie dye job myself on cotton - but this is supplex and I don't know how it will dye. I'd like to have it professionally done because I really want it to look good. Anybody have any suggestions on where to get it done?

Thanks!! :)

Merlin Suits in Deland does some of the best tye dye work I've seen and they do it on Suplex. You might want to ask them about any care tips for it. I think it takes a different dye, but nothing too hard.

Also just try some out on junk strips of it and see how it turns out.

I'm assuming you checked with her before posting all her contact info for the world to see. Simple courtesy. PM's are better for this.
