    I used to have a tie-dyed suit, that would have been 1969.
    (don't even have the slightest recollection of where it ever went....)
    anyone still wear tie-dye....? like to work or something in the system....

    this past summer i met a tie dye artist and he and his girlfriend hired me and my girlfriend to help sell tie dyes, so pretty much *everything* i wear is tie dyed.

    i obviously wear tie dye when i go to the fairs to help sell them, but at my regular job (subway), i have to wear a uniform, so all i can wear is tie dye socks.

    my dad's been buying tie dyes for the last thirty years or so, and he wears them to work when its t-shirt weather (he works at sun microsystems and they don't care what you wear so long as you're clothed).

    I have one tie dye shirt. I'd like it if all my shirts were tie dye.

    I wear mostly tie dye. Some of the tye dye shirts I wear go back to the 1960s! I haven't grown much since then. ;) Just a couple pounds. I used to be a Deadhead, so naturally a few are Grateful Dead.

    I haven't done much dying in the past year or so, but I have in the recent past. I used to tie dye baby slings for my breastfeeding support group. I think it may be easier for a womyn to get away with wearing tie dye to work, as womyn are allowed to be more colorful.

    But, I've seen some doctors at the hospital who have tie dyed surgical caps. And they even sell tie dyed scrubs, but they look prefab.

    I wear it, but I'm self employed and people expect people in my profession to be a little "out there."

    Maggie - funny you should mention tie dye scrubs and scrub caps! I'm doing my pre-reqs for nursing school, and I just wondered the other if...if I could get some tie-dyed scrubs! :p
