THRIFT FLIP: dyeing my old clothes with Rit dye

Dyeing old clothes is a great way to revive them and get more wear out of them!
I am by no means a "sad beige" pinterest/instagram girlie, but I love some cozy brown tones in my wardrobe.

I also like new the color of the pants🤎

🤎 the embroidery/ lace on the dress is really beautiful. It’s much more noticeable when it’s brown ☺️ I think a little darker would be better, the color is a bit too close to your skin color as it is. Sad thing about the stains though 😕 Those pants are literally perfect, love the new color 😍 and the short also turned out perfectly. They both fit you like a glove, the dress too ☺️ really great thrift finds you made and such a good idea to dye them to fit your style better

The trick to dying clothing is to have the clothing wet before you put it into the dye bath. It prevents splotching and unevenness.

[@OutfitRepeater]

Yes, they were already wet :)

Add doilies to the dress over the stains and randomly/decoratively on the front. You could also use a couple as pockets!

[@AlexLouiseWest]

I really like that approach. Or fabric leaves might work.

The dress add extra lace or crop it above the stains

[@swedishjazz9546]

You know, this dress would make a really cute apron, since you're already considering using it for work. The fabric from the back, where the stains are, could be turned into ties and maybe a pocket? 🦔

[@OutfitRepeater]

Haha my husband also said it looks like an apron 😂

dye the dress black!

[@OutfitRepeater]

Lol I totally would except I’m pretty sure the stains would still just be darker than the rest of the fabric 😫😂
