I found this beautiful skirt at a thrift store and bought it to cut up and use for quilting but once I began to feel it and look at it, I couldn't bear to. I've never seen anything quite like it and was hoping someone else might know of the technique used to dye it. It looks like a reverse resist stitch dye, you can kind of see the darker dye underneath the embroidery.

The first photo shows the skirt stretched out, it's a wrap around and the other two are closeups. It's made of a rayon so heavy it feels like two pieces but it's only one. It's very heavy and very soft.
