Ikat printed clothing the inexpensive way
Ethnic inspired prints from the globe never really go “out of style” but this season, Ikat printed clothing can be found in your favorite (budget friendly) retailer stores. According to
Wikipedia, Ikat, or
Ikkat, is a style of weaving that uses a resist dyeing process similar to tie-dye on either the warp or weft before the threads are woven to create a pattern or design. The Ikat style has origins in India and South-East Asia, but is used in some form in countries around the globe.
