Adventures in Dyeing

A few months ago, I bought this little dress during one of my thrifting outings with Holli. I loved a lot of things about this dress, but the color was NOT one of them! I just couldn't see myself wearing this silly pepto bismol pink.

Then Holli had a brilliant idea. Dyeing!

We met up yesterday to embark on this new adventure. I dyed this dress, and Holli dyed a pair of jeans.  We were very meticulous because we didn't want to screw up, but dyeing is actually pretty easy. I was most worried about how the color would mix with the pink.

But, I was pleasantly surprised with the turn out. A nice red/burnt orange, which I think is great for all seasons.

Here is the finished product! (the belt and shoes are Holli's--cute huh?)

A close up of the pattern:

Now that I've learned that dyeing really isn't that hard, it really opens up ways to change up my wardrobe, or a way to fix up some thrifting finds that I may not be crazy about. And it only cost like 2 bucks, so it was worth it.

I am very pleased. The end!
