About this Product

Want to be comfortable, yet stylish? No Spanks required under this loose-fitting interestingly-shaped dress. Aside the generously large pockets is flared fabric that makes the dress swing during movement. The sleeves have buttons and an inside strap so they can be worn up or down.

Definitely unique in its design. I did not create the design, but ice-dyed the dress in hues of purple and peach with a touch of blue. Ice dyeing causes the dyes to separate and some of their original colors sneak out.

The photos tend to make the bottom of the dress look dark, but it is actually a beautiful purple, as shown in the last picture.

I originally dyed one of these dresses for myself, but found it so fun and flattering to wear, I decided to dye a few for my customers.

Size: Medium. I machine wash in hot water before and after dyeing, so the measurements may have decreased somewhat, but they fit very loosely, so that shouldn't change the fit. I suggest either washing by hand and hanging to dry or machine washing on a low setting.

Meet the Maker

My name is Patt, spelled with 2 t's because I like to stand out from the many Patricias and Pats in this world.

Creating new, colorful art suits my multi-tasking lifestyle.

Born in San Francisco and raised on the Peninsula, I found knitting, then weaving as "indoor sports" after moving to the coast and experiencing summer’s heavy coastal fog. 

Vivid colors and textures drive my work as a textile designer. I consider myself eclectic — I knit, weave, felt, dye, and design and create jewelry. My passion is blending colors and textures into jewelry and textile designs while not following rules and doing the expected. I strive for wearable art pieces - my works are one of a kind. I create unusual pieces and prefer being ahead of the crowd rather than part of it.
Ice-dyeing led me to dye textiles for fashion designers. My work has sold in stores and at craft shows 4 to 5 times a year. I love the in-person selling, but like many artists, the pandemic forced me online, which has been a bonus because now I have new customers from all over the country.

I started online as Patt711 on Etsy and success encouraged me to add GoImagine.com with its new give-back concept. If you live in or visit the SF Bay Area around Thanksgiving, I also participate in Open Studios in November and that information can be found on our website: www.colonyofcoastsideartists.com 
I hope you enjoy my art as much as I do creating it.

How it’s Made

All ice-dyed pieces are individually hand-dyed by me as the artist. I usually choose 4-6 colors and even when I dye several items in one container, no two look alike. Ice dyeing takes at least 24 hours and because I'm using ice not hot water, the colors in the dye separate and create new colors as well as blending with neighboring colors. They resemble watercolors.All ice-dyed pieces are individually hand-dyed by me as the artist. I usually choose 4-6 colors and even when I dye several items in one container, no two look alike.

Shop Reviews (1)

I purchased the Gold Bracelet with Czech beads and dragonfly charm for my wife for mother's day. When I was browsing through Patt711's merchandise I had a hard time making a decision because each piece had so much character. I was impressed a how quickly it arrived. My wife loved it and has already received compliments. I have purchased bracelets from other online distributors, but I must say the inventory from this shop was amazing. I really liked the uniqueness of each jewelry piece. I would definitely purchase from Patt711 again.
