I REALLY wanted to use the Watercolor Dye Technique to make a dress for an upcoming Brunch.
My goal was to use my Rit Dye Skills to create something like this:
 |
| Goal Dress |
After hand painting a white cotton sheet with deep layers of Rit Dye I was thrilled with the wet fabric!
 |
| Wet Fabric |
Even if it faded a little, I figured that it would still be perfect! After drying overnight the fabric was muddy and faded.
 |
| Too washed out! |
In the end I used rubbing alcohol and fabric paint to try and save this project.
 |
| Mix up a miracle |
I was happier, though not totally thrilled, with the result!
 |
| Spray Painted / Dyed Fabric |
I ended us using the fabric to make a dress, but i'm not sure that i'll ever love it enough to wear it.
 |
| Meh! |
For now she sit on a dress form in my attic.

I have a questionable tie dye project going on myself. :-) I think the skirt portion of your dress is very pretty. Maybe there is a way to add a little more color to the top.

It's always such a disappointment when projects go wrong. I don't want to keep throwing money at this but I also want something that I can wear with pride.
Maybe I fancy hat or accessory will do the trick. We shall see!
I would def try some regular dye. It's cute and would look great!
