If you follow Bella Caiden on Facebook then you might have already seen this photo!!!
Woohoo!!! I mentioned that in this photo was my latest DIY project and of course everyone guessed the shirt/dress!!! and YOU WERE RIGHT!!! although technically if you guessed that I waxed my stache you would have been MORE RIGHT:) lol! You can see in the pic it is still a little pink. haha
Anyways, I got this super cute dress from Old Navy in the clearance section for just a few bucks!! It is to DIE for isn't it??? Ok well maybe not to die for, but definitely to dye for!!! LOL I crack myself up!
I am not much of a shorts wearer so in the summer I tend to wear a lot of summer dresses! I am no size 2 and have some super pale skin so I'm not always the easiest gal to dress. I don't really like to wear all white because I swear it makes these pastey legs look even more pale. LOL but this dress was just too good of a deal to pass up so I decided to get it and give dying it a try!!!
So I bought 2 boxes of RIT powder dye in Navy Blue and got to work. I followed the directions from the back of the box..... with some help of my little man!
and this is how it turned out! What do you think???
I think it looks more purple then navy blue but I LOVE IT!!!
and the contrast between the thread and the fabric looks awesome!
...if I do say so myself;)
Plus purple just happens to be this little ladies FAVORITE COLOR!!!!
So she LOVED IT!!!
Please ignore my dirty feet!!! We are country people... I never wear shoes:) LOL
I have to admit I might have a new obsession with dying things!!!
I have a few other white dresses and tops that could really use some happy colors!!
Don't worry I will keep you all posted along the way! :)
XOXO
I L-O-V-E it and live the contrast of the thread too!
ReplyDeleteLove that you added too;)
I'm "dying" to see what's next! Bwahahaha
*Love the contrast of the thread & the belt you added.
DeleteFresh, these gadgets make you think I can't spell:(
I love the contrast with the stitching too!
ReplyDeleteIt never fails- when I wear white I always get food or something on it anyway. :p
I'll have to keep my eyes open for cute clothes that I can dye!
LOVE IT! Good choice dying it! It was cute to start, but now it's fabulous! I love purple! (even though it was supposed to be blue) :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Stopping by from the 'On Display Link Party' - I've not tried dying any clothing yet, but your dress turned out so nice I might be inspired to try! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
