It is very easy, buy your desired color. get a big pot add dye to put with some salt and put clothing in pit to boil when done let stand until water is cold then rinse in cold water and wallaaaaaa

if i'm not mistaken the dress is cotton...and the actual dress is a very light blue..with flowers in a range of blues. the darkest blue is indigo...i would like to dye the dress indigo blue..i don't like floral stuff.

really? is that easy??????

where can i buy the dye? and is there a certain brand i should use??

well yuh could try and see how it come out, i tend to only dye things that i sure will take de color....but yuh could only learn form mistakes


dye it.

oh gosh

For DC carnival we wanted to dye our school shirts in rascalz. My friend from NY pull out a whole bag ah wiki tiki yes. I almost died. Still ent know where she find that.

Try dyeing a small swatch (as they say in Jimmy Aboud) first to see if the material will take the color. You can take down a part of the hem, cut off a little piece then hem it back.
