gradations

note: munira, this is what they're for =P

i never thought i'd be a fan gradations. but the longer i browse through the gradation photos thread, i can finally conclude that only certain gradations out there can really catch my eye =P. it all depends on the colorways really. some mamas did a great job on the color combination. i may not like a particular grad, but there might be someone out there who loves it to bits. so it all depends on one's preference too, hehe.

hani's travelling didy is also a grad. i'm not a fan of orange, and somehow the colors kinda reminded me of my rm10 baju kurung, lol (the kain kedut that was in fashion a couple of years ago). but i was quite surprised to know that it's a mandarin linen gradation. reviews are going around saying that it's really lovely and soft and broken-in IRL (so i guess the phrase a picture is worth a thousand words doesn't really count in this context =P). now i'm curious as to the feel of her linen.

Dragonfly Beginnings is famous for their dye jobs. TBW mamas are crazy about them.

here's a couple of gradation photos that i really like. there's lots of mamas out there experimenting with dyeing. most of them use dharma and dylon colors. i think i've seen dylon brand before in Tesco. i don't think i'd try to do this on my own, even though i'd like to, i might end up destroying thewhole wrap instead. photos below are all borrowed from TBW forums.
