To help savvy fashionistas make the most of your wardrobe, British brand DYLON Dyes has created a guide on how to get the look at home.

STEP ONE:

Wet the clean shirt, squeeze out any excess water and leave damp.

STEP TWO:

Bind sections of the shirt tightly with rubber bands – the areas of the shirt protected by bands will escape being dyed and create the pattern

STEP THREE:

Wearing rubber gloves, dissolve the dye in 500ml of warm water in the measuring jug, mix in 250g (4tbsp) of salt and stir well

STEP FOUR:

Pour the mixture into a plastic bottle to enable easy application of the dye to the shirt

STEP FIVE:

Repeat the dye and salt mixture if adding additional colours. DYLON recommends picking shades of fabric dye that go well together, e.g. shades within the same colour family – like Vintage Blue and Navy Blue – or different colours that complement each other – like Intense Violet and Passion Pink

STEP SIX:

Rinse the measuring jug and rest the bound shirt in it

STEP SEVEN:

Carefully pour the dye mixture onto the shirt to create the desired look

STEP EIGHT:

Leave shirt to sit for a minimum of one hour to allow the dye to seep into the fabric

STEP NINE:

Without untying fabric, rinse in cold water until the water runs clear, then untie and wash in warm water

STEP TEN:

Leave to dry - make sure it is away from direct sunlight
