EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of the 1920s with this image of a woman proudly showcasing her handcrafted rainbow frock. The page from a long-lost brochure reveals the method for creating this colourful masterpiece using Dy-o-la Dyes. The 1920s were a time of artistic expression and innovation, and this rainbow frock embodies the fashionable and colourful spirit of the era. The woman's radiant smile and confident pose exude a sense of joy and creativity, inviting us to join in the fun. The brochure page, now yellowed with age, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the steps to create this stunning dress. With sections dedicated to each colour - yellow, orange, red, green, blue - the instructions guide the reader through the process of tinting fabric with Dy-o-la Dyes. The woman at the centre of the image seems to be in the midst of the dyeing process, her hands stained with the bright hues of the rainbow. As we delve deeper into the instructions, we learn that the method involves soaking the fabric in a solution of water and soda ash before applying the dye. The fabric is then left to dry before being rinsed and washed, resulting in a rich, long-lasting colour. The brochure also suggests using different fabrics for each colour to create a visually striking effect. This rainbow frock is not only a testament to the artistic prowess of the woman in the image but also a reminder of the joy and creativity that can be found in the simplest of crafts. With the instructions from this 1920s brochure, we too can create our own rainbow frocks and add a touch of colour to our lives.
