I got a few pieces that I had wanted to dye but didn't know quite how, and I actually ruined some once-very-fabulous cotton laces. This time I'm going to try your techniques, which I believe will work! Your dyeing turned out to be a masterpiece! Thank you so much for sharing!

My dress is 65% cotton and 35% silk! The lining is 100% polyester but I don't care how that turns out because no one will see it!

I just found your blog because I had googled "dying a wedding dress" . . .I was so happy to read this! I got married in April and I got the bottom of my dress cut off so it makes a cute cocktail dress but- it's still ivory! It's 100% polyester and the dry cleaner told me dying wouldn't work but I haven't actually found a clothing dyer in Houston. I am so inspired by your experience but I wanted to know what material your dress is made out of? Was it more than 50% polyester- on the RIT website it says it's not good for more than 50% polyester but I wondered if yours is. Thanks for your help! Also by any chance, how did you find the clothing dyers in your city? I really appreciate your help! Your dress looks so cute! I'm hoping to have mine dyed by Christmas time for parties- I was hoping to do a dark purple . . . -Christina Hi!

It was in the back by the pharmacy almost, on the right hand side near the greeting cards. Other than that we don't have any idea. Maybe Kroger? Or at the very least a Michael's or a Ben Franklin? Hope it helps! Happy hunting... xo, Sherry

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Okay, so where did you find the Rit Dye in Richmond? Ukrop's no. WalMart no. Dollar Store no. CVS no. I love the idea of dying my awful, faded curtains.

Maybe you can test a small spot first? I say go for it since you won't wear it white, right. Just be careful to follow all the directions. They also sell dye remover so maybe if it doesn't work you can remove the dye or try again? Hope it helps! xo, s
