In case you missed it, tie-dye is having a major moment. There’s something so satisfying about rocking a rainbow of colors, or, if you prefer monochrome designs, splotches of similar shades.

While a lot of brands are hopping on the tie-dye trend, we’re here to remind you that creating your own tie-dye apparel is totally doable. The trick to mastering a DIY dye is to start with the right blanks.

For that reason, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to round up 10 of the most stylish 100% cotton shirts and dresses that will take to dye better than any other fabric.

Whether you’re looking to create a beach cover-up or a comfy lounge ‘fit, this strapless cotton jumpsuit will do the trick. The sheer material absorbs dye easily and can turn out beautifully whether crumpled or folded.
