How To Dye Illusion Mesh, Net, Tulle, Fabric For Brown & Dark Skin Tones

[@panacheluxury4262]

How many Designers are going to go to such an extent to advance their brand? Daniela, you have raised a very essential issue and need in the fashion industry. You would think after all this time this is something that would be addressed. Thank you for doing this! Great job!

[@DanielaTabois]

I'm sure some Blk Designers are going to the extent but, It's a lot of work that people don't want to pay for. Different color nudes are a problem across many industries. Thank you for your feedback!❤

[@Jayjen35]

It is so great to see illusion and nude fabrics that can match our various shades! Just beautiful - cannot wait to see a finished garment using it!

[@R.NicoleMindset]

How do you dye it if the mesh is already on the gown?

[@taoshnhudes]

DIY fabric dyeing is very doable for anyone. I love that you took the time to share the process! I have some tips.....to share! Using hot water as you did in the video would be my suggestion for beginning DIY fabric dyeing. The development of color happens gradually. Allows you to control how dark or light you need it. Boiling method works well if you are not a patient person however the development of color happens fairly quickly. You can do it one of two ways....each way is effective! Last Tip: To avoid the unevenness of color.....keep the fabric moving so that the dye pigments do not settle in one area more than another.

😮 Thank you! 😊

[@bethanne.whitearbor]

I found this video completely randomly while looking for another dye process...but just want to say..I am so happy to have watched this. It's awful there isn't a more easily obtainable way to make lovely shaded "nude" fabrics. Congratulations on a terrific test!!

[@thearough]

Excellent what i need to know my whole sewing life. What every dancer skater entertainer needs 👍👍👍

[@Holabella]

omg it turned out great. I tried dying white illusion mesh black with the non synthetic rit because its what I had on hand. after 6 hours.... hahaha it just all washed out the mesh was still white as hell. The synthetic dye is a must

[@sirenialpz]

You're great at what you do. Thank you for your video. I learned a lot. 🥰

[@happyhealthyhomebody]

I have been checking Joann’s (online) for months waiting for their darker tones to restock. Decided to call today and the lady said they’ve discontinued the other tones. Why do that when it’s highly needed? Thanks so much for this video! 🙏🏾♥️💐

[@cesuich]

Wow that was awesome! I had no idea how much work was involved in color matching fabric to skin tones. Great exercise thanks!

[@DanielaTabois]

Yes it's lot of work hence why its neglected.

[@AllThePeppermint]

This is amazing! I never imagined that various mesh and tulle could appear so light, but actually perfectly blend with such lovely darker complexions! I'm fair skinned. Most companies don't make "nude" fabric that is light enough even for me. lol Learned a lot about dying from this video. Thank you, truly!

[@charlesbrantner8206]

that into is the best! just adds to the quality of the video, Love it!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

Though I enjoyed seeing the process that you went through in dyeing each mesh to compliment skin tone including making sure there was a yellow undertone and red undertones. I really wish that we were at a place where all of the shade ranges were available from the majority of the manufacturers. That being said, you are a very talented designer.

[@DanielaTabois]

I definitely agree. General brown colors should be available

[@channellwoods]

Thanks for this demo it was excellent! Looking forward to your next video.

[@folashade84]

I was searching for a video like this over 5 years ago, thank goodness I found yours.

[@elizanguyen7411]

I can’t believe your video popped up first in my search. It’s EXACTLY what I was looking for

[@sarahs9378]

Can i dye fully beads tulle? Will it ruin the beads

[@BeaulahCBO]

Wow! That was a perfect match. Great job as always 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@bqing87]

This was SUPER helpful. I’m actually planning on just dying some toe socks for a Halloween outfit and since it’s probably going to be cold I figured oh toe socks but they have ZERO brown socks which is frustrating so I opted for white and to dye and found your video. Appreciate it.

[@HoopsIDidItAgain1998]

You are the GOAT!! I’m making a gown for a film festival and was struggling to find mesh that wouldn’t make me look ashy. 😭😭

[@marisoldominguez438]

Maybe you should get into being a fabric consultant with people who make these mesh so they can make products that suit melanated women. I am a light skinned Spanish women but I know other olive skinned women probably have the same problem you are expressing.

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

Yep! I hope the pattern companies will get with her too for some of her bridal designs! 🙂

[@PetMama1313]

Needed a break from true crime for a bit so I'm here. Also looking for ideas/options for crafting with tulle and similar fabrics for wedding/anniversary items. I'm white though but I was curious and did not know where to start on how to dye tulle and similar fabrics. Hi Daniela. Loved the video!

[@kodaboy75]

Great video !!!! We needed this !!!!!!!

[@DanielaTabois]

Glad it was helpful!

[@superstartoni1]

Hey! Thanks for the information! Can you dye mesh that is attached to a piece of clothing without dying the whole thing?

[@Lexilemonadeofficial]

Is it possible to do this for a dress that’s already made

[@peanutbutterfiend]

I absolutely love this!! Awesome seeing you're process and getting such a perfect product at the end of this video.

I think you can save and reuse the dye bath. I like the colors.

Hey Daniela, hope all is well !!

[@hunkymirealnzughulmimisim5521]

Thanks for this tutorial ma. Please, what are the names of the yellow and red dyes- the products to be specific.

[@tooni2new]

When you stepped back and that swatch DISAPPEARED into your neckline, I cheered 😂

[@HeyItsPrima]

The way I gasped when you put that first yellow one up to your chest!! We never have stuff like this readily available! I can't tell you how happy I am that you made this! Thank you so much Daniela!!🫶🏾 My lingerie is about to be next level!

[@Felishad11]

The white tulle with yellow is my exact skin tone. It looks so good 🙂

[@deelariee]

How can you use this method on fabric that’s already sow on the dress?

[@dee2nice669]

YESS I NEED THIS❤️❤️❤️

[@ablahkorkor5340]

Thanks for the video. I’ve learnt a lot. Should the mesh be doubled when sewing it?

[@ablahkorkor5340]

😢

[@maramorena1308]

I just bought a rhinestone appliqué the mesh is white but I need it pink can I still dye it with out the dye staying on the rhinestones ?

[@irisstevens2019]

Do you have a suggestion for adjusting the color of a small piece of illusion on a non-brush dress? I have this fantastic dress that has a small illusion mesh patch in the cleavage area, but it’s way too light. I’ve been looking for a solution, but no luck so far.

[@keshnadonia]

I’ve been following your journey for quite some time. I hope everything has turned around as they seem to have been going. Will you be relaunching your Patreon?

[@gigglesjumps2433]

Can you share where you get the 2 way illusion mesh fabric (the swatches you tested at the end)? It was perfect😍😍😍

[@nerys723]

One of my relatives in the 1970s used strong brewed tea to give laces a warm hue instead of white, the longer the laces steeped in the teas the darker it got. Hours. One could do trial swatches using cups of mugs of teas in different strengths. This before trying to dye big piece of fabric. Maybe coffee would work too. Some leaves, herbs, roots give colors too. Natural fabrics take color. Not sure about polyester, never try.

[@Kaymitlit]

At 3:33 min she shows that the dye she use are for synthetic fabrics nylon polyester and acrylic 💖

[@deelightful7996]

What was the brand used for the undertone dye?

[@DanielaTabois]

Don't concern yourself with the brand of dyes. Just use colors or stick with the brand dye for all colors

[@juliamason8393]

You can also use brewed tea and coffee to dye with.

[@haddiewillsburg1453]

I think tea and coffee work best with cotton. She is working with synthetics which are impossible to dye with tea and coffee.

[@juliamason8393]

@@haddiewillsburg1453 tea and coffee can dye synthetics', I have done it before.

Just saying… you are solving a problem that needs a resolution. 🔥 you have the video as proof of being first to do it so just put it in writing as a patent or something.

[@DanielaTabois]

All is well! Thank You

[@jogivens3965]

I chose a different wedding dress than I originally wanted because the “illusion mesh” was too pale

[@imthemaryyouretherhoda286]

Daniela, I feel yah girl. IMO it seems that the fabric designers and makeup companies or either intentionally or not intentionally discriminating against black and brown skinned people. And for this to still be the case in 2022 is a real shame! I mean it's not like all of the sudden black, dark, and brown skinned people just appeared one day ago or something. So for me it's like why am I shopping at a place that's either intentionally or not intentionally discriminating against you guys for no apparent reason. You guys should be able to just walk into a fabric store and pick fabric up off of the shelf like us white people do or go to any makeup counter or store and be able to find your shade just as easily as white people do. This is not to say that dying fabric is not a good skill to have in your pocket or that it's not fun but I guess what I'm saying is that these colours should be READILY ACCESSIBLE for all skin types and shades.

I hate how so many outfits come in nude mesh a lot of them would look so good with brown tones but they look like crap on us

[@SGRmoss]

The fact that darker nude mesh is so hard to find is so infuriating

[@sandraheenan1268]

It's an all skin colour issue many different tones to skin we whites arnt all the same shade. I m so over colour victimization. Great your showing people how to do this just leave race out of it.

[@DanielaTabois]

Are you lost? This video is addressing brown and dark skin tone issues. Why would I know about your white skin tone issue’s? Furthermore, if it was such a huge problem why isn’t there a video from white folks solving your issue? As far as I’m concerned you’re the one pulling the race card. 🙄

[@TriBeccaDesigns]

You do exquisite work🤎. Excellent dye job, but it's ashamed that you need to do it. Honestly, I was thrilled just to see that they now have three different shades of melanated Band-Aids at the drug stores...Lord Help🤷🏾

[@DanielaTabois]

We need to do it because white folks own everything so, that their default. They lack understanding of everyone else. That why they group us in "People of color"
