5 out of 5 starsKim is a fantastic creator of beautiful clothes. I tried something different this time. I ordered a couple larger sizes and use my dress as a wake up warm up, hanging out dress or an anything I want dress. The tiedye is really on target and doesn't look half done. The sewing, perfect. I will buy from her again.

5 out of 5 starsDefinitely funky and comfy. I wear these pants with the matching pocketed tunic to work. I can dress it up with the right accessories, and when I get home, I don't have to change into comfy clothes. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsThis top is perfect! I’m wearing it while I teach on line. The tie dye shows up on zoom as pleasant but not distracting which is really important. It also stays lovely when I move around or reach for something while on camera, not distracting with any seams or show through. Just as important, it is wonderfully comfortable! The fabric is a just right weight. I think it just might be the most comfortable top I have ever worn and I’m 60 years old! Thanks so much Pure Intent!

The first step into making Pure Intent designs is picking the perfect pattern!I love up-dating and improving my designs!
-
Next, every piece of fabric is banded with rubber bands for dying.
-
Third, every piece of my fabric is dyed. I use dip dye and color stripper for special effects.
-
The dyeing process is finally finished! The finished piece is Pure Intent’s beautiful Multi-Blue Dress.

Finally, an outside booth picture from one of the art shows!
Tie Dye Clothing for Womens with Style, Sizes Small to 3X
Kim Williams Bio 2015
After working for Corporate America and running my own printing and graphic finishing business for 25+ years, I followed my heart and passion to the creative side of garment decorating.
I use different dyes and preparations for my garments, I strip color out, add color back in, and layer dyes. I use different fabrics and make up styles in darks and lights to achieve the looks I want. I use a variety of banding styles and techniques. Also, I am focused on over-dyeing – starting with a color and dyeing over it multiple times to get beautiful deep rich colors. I have similar styles in different colors because every garment is personalized since every dye batch is unique.
As for my dye process: my garments are tied with bands or string, soaked in a material to help make the fabric color absorbent. Then I mix a color and do a test to make sure it cures and how much shrinkage I am going to get. I add color by dipping it in the dye, or stripping color out and then adding it back in, or applying it in specific areas. The dye gets 24 hours to cure, then it is un-banded and washed in a solution and rinsed until the water runs clear. Everything I make is hung to dry. the testing process takes me a couple of days, and if I use multiple processes it’s a couple of days for each one. Then I have to re-size the patterns for shrinkage before they are cut & sewn.
I do sew myself, but my time is limited so I make sample patterns small to large & do the re-size for the plus patterns XL to 3X myself. I also sew one of a kind pieces and several of my designs have lace patch inserts incorporated in them, some black, some white and some cotton to change to the color I am dyeing in. Moreover, I make a couple of items that have a screen print on them and I am also working on looking for a new design to print on my patch top. I love Rayon fabric and I can’t find it in prints any more – so I am going to make my-own, stay tuned for that one.
Dyed to match sets are my new thing complete with tanks, scarves, tunics and cardigans. What makes my line different from the rest is my use of colors, the fit and the soft fabrics I use. I am currently making sizes Small to 3X. I am flattered to say my styles appeal to a broad age range and I am still having a pleasure making them.

I love making clothing that looks good on all sizes from small to 3X! I use base colors to make my patterns then strip them out to dye over them. I also dye matching cardigans, scarfs and tanks together to make the perfect matching sets.
