I offer you numerous colours and colour styles to delight you, saying this I understand that what makes you stand out in the world of entertainment is your personal flair and design. To ensure you get the silks that partner with your costume, what sets Silk Bazaar apart is my ability to collaborate with you, and design custom silks that match your creations. My attitude is if near enough was good enough – how on earth would we stand out? If you want that little bit extra, contact me to work on something that will take your performance to the next level.
A few explanations on terms on my website.
Colour Blends
Blends are a combination of two or more cololurs to give a textured appearance either medium or large effect.
Gradation
Commonly known as Ombre. Gradations are different hues or tones partnered and fading into each other.
Single colours
One colour used to dye. Saying this, the technique I use does result in highlights and shadows of the one hue used, which results in a finished product with more depth than conventional dying techniques.
Custom Orders
Custom orders can be arranged. Custom orders can be in the form of special dying colourstyle, special sizes or pieces. Price and the approximate shipping time will be confirmed on enquiry.
Finishing
All our products have finished seams. All seams are sewn prior to dying, with silk thread which is imperative to my process as it means both the silk fabric and the stitching are coloured and uniform in their pattern and colour.
The Dyes
Our dyes are Procion MX Dyes. They are low toxicity dyes. They give vibrant and durable colour to our silks. We use minimal chemicals to get your silk to you as naturally as possible! These dyes are commonly used in many beautiful tie dye tshirts and garments you see. We process them so they’re quite stable. They launder well, have minimal discharge with no overall laundry stress, and are durable and colourfast. As we add some extra steps to finishing our product, we think you’ll be pleased at how durable our dyeing quality is. We steam press each and every silk item, which helps to set the dyes more permanently for a better quality fabric.
