Total Cost = $5
This is what came of my color remover party this weekend. I practically hovered over a giant cauldron (okay pot) on the stove and cackled like a witch while I sucked all the peach I could out of that dress. It went something like this ,"Yes my pretty! Be gone peach! Muah ha ha ha!" After about an hour of stirring and stirring it turned into this nasty beige color and then I spent the rest of the night ombre dying it. As I was dying the dress in the bathroom Matt kept saying, "Honey, you all right in there? Did you fall in?" Har har har. Good one. It isn't the first poop joke that's come out of Sir Matt's mouth and I'm afraid that it won't be the last. Eww poop and mouth should definitely never be used in the same sentence. It's just wrong isn't it.
so gorgeous!!! great job!

Oh Frannie you pantsy. You're my type of lady friend I tell you what!
ReplyDeleteCaitlin- Let's do it soon! Our plans always miraculously fall through. Also I saw your post about being a vendor. One step closer to us opening our shop right?!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is absolutely stunning. I can't believe it! What kind/color dye is that? Your revival files are so inspirational. I can't get enough of them.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing dress! I'll definitely be keeping my eyes out for one!
ReplyDeleteChelsey- I used the RIT liquid dye. It's called Kelly Green, I just used less of the dye so that it would come out lighter.
ReplyDeleteit looks BEAUTIFUL and i love the collar with it! wow!!

Where in the world do you find such a dress for five freakin dollars?! And the peter pan collar is KILLING me. Well done dear, well done.
ReplyDeleteHellooooooooo Cinderella! YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteYour talent is unfair! If I could do this, which I sadly have tried and I am the WORST seamstress in the world, my beautiful vintage dress collection would be so much more lovely. Share your talent! Please!
ReplyDeleteFor sure much cuter this color! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, stunning! I need a tutorial on this one. Gosh, you're gorgeous, girl! And you DO look like Keiko! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I think it's actually pretty in both colors! But did you alter the dress to fit you better? The sleeves look shorter in the after pics. Super cute dress revival and I love the way you wore the collar necklace (I have it too!)
