It came out very gorgeous and to do this kind of art on your on a Dress..... Spray Painted a graduation dress just like that would be a perfect dress what makes it fun as choosing a colors to see how the dresser come out🤔🤷♀️ wow!!!
This is what I've been trying to have done to my dress I just couldnt find anyone to do it. I'm afraid to do it myself lmao. Looks so awesome. I wish u lived near me in florida!!! Haha
THIS. IS. ABSOLUTELY. THE. MOST. STUNNING. DRESS. I. HAVE. EVER. SEEN!!!!!!!! (The periods are intentional- it puts more EMPHASIS!) I would LOVE a dress like this for my wedding day. I am totally a NON-TRADITIONAL person & I've always dreamed of a COLOURED wedding dress :)
I’m about to try this today and I’ve only used fabric dye. I’m a little nervous since the girl’s wedding is in a week. How long will this process take? PLEASE any hints! Also, what does one charge for this? I’m clueless but very crafty.
It took me about 7 hours total to spray the dress as mentioned in the video and you'll need drying time before you put it away. definitely do the spraying outside to avoid breathing the fumes too much. I would charge around £300-£800 to spray a dip dye effect onto a dresz depending the the number and depth of colours required and the nature of the dress. Tonswer more questions I wrote the blog post on my website, it covers all advice I'd have to offer. www.felicitywestmacott.co.uk. good luck!
I love this dress. So beautiful. I have a bride who is looking for an ombre hem on her high low wedding dress. Will this spray color work on polyester? Does it dye the fabric?
This dress was silk dupion and poly tulle and the spray worked fine on the tulle, no flaking! I've not tested the method for dye fastness myself though I have been told by others it is washable.
it does stiffen fabric a little, but not too noticeably on something that isn't super soft already. I tend to spray onto middle weight tulle, not super soft for this reason. And I never spray woven fabric (unless it's a lining) only only 'fabric with holes in' like tulle, net or lace as that means there is less paint and less chance of stiffness. There is a smell at first, but it airs out after a few days.
There were three shades of red, all from the oasis spray colour choices. So it was Yellow, Orange, Holiday red, Carnation red, Cranberry red, and Violet. :-)
My wedding dress has cotton lace over a polyester gown. Can I paint the polyester with this product? I thought it would be neat underneath but am not against painting the lace either. It’s an outdoor wedding at a music festival - if it rains will the paint wash off?
Hi Claudia, Two reasons, 1. the spray paint was donated to me so was free to use and 2. I had decided to use spray paint as I wanted the full rainbow effect which is impossible with wet dying on a made garment as the colours would mix. If I'd dipped the whole bottom of the dress in a huge dye-bath of yellow dye (and I don't have a dye bath that big anyway) (and I'd have needed to use i-dye for polyester fabrics which only work at boiling point, boiled for an hour so a massive undertaking) and then dipped it in red, and then dipped it in purple the bottom of the dress would have become brown, not purple! Obviously yellow+purple=brown. I may not have had much red on the dress either either as yellow+red=orange. Though with a strong enough red/burgundy dye you might just have achieved the yellow/orange/red section. The purple part wouldn't have happened. But really wet dye on a made garment is difficult enough, let alone such a big one, let alone a manmade fabrics one! Plus I'd then have to dye again in dye for silk (acid dye) as the fabric behind the polyester tulle layers is silk dupion. So basically spraying was the only sensible choice. Spraying also gives you complete control on colour placement where wet dying you risk splashes, and the colour seeping upwards, or not reach a section if the fabric is bunched up - you might end up with a tie-dyed look!
my only question would be after spraying this dress was there any more care done was there rinsing or washing dry cleaning things that had to be done to keep the dye from spreading onto your skin or do you just spray and where
well I just sprayed the dress and let it dry and then a few days later it was worn for the shoot. It's been in storage since in a dress bag and so far no problems, I mean the colour hasn't rubbed off into the bag or anything, it seems well 'sunk into' the fabric. None of the colour is anywhere near skin when worn, so that was never an issue. No cleaning tests yet. I don't think it will clean in any conventional, but then with all the colour and dark hem any dust at the bottom won't show. Cleaning, if it is ever needed, will be a bit of trail and error process I guess. If I ever repeated the exercise I'd probably use a more conventional fabric dye (in a spray gun) so that cleaning might be more straight forward, though still a worry! I only used the florists paint this time as it was free and offered!
So sorry I didn't see your question earlier, as shown in the video I used 'oasis' spray. You can buy it from UK floristry supply wholesalers or on amazon.
Felicity Westmacott would you make the dress for customers my email is brianarain08@icloud.com fall in love with this dress can’t find no one too do this
Hi, as on all The other replies below 😜 I used oasis floral spray. I buy it from various floristry suppliers though stocks are low at the moment as Brexit has delayed imports from the manufacturer.
Hi, in this original dress, which was the first I ever did I had donated cans, some of which were already partly used so it's very hard to say exactly how many I used. But when I do the same design again now I always make sure I have at least two of each colour in stock. I may not use more than one but I hate to run out with 'just a bit more' needed to make it even and smooth!
I used the floral spray the first time as it was given to me free and the dress was being made for a an unpaid photoshoot - there was no budget. The floral paint had been recommended to me by other people on a costume facebook group as being suitable for this use. It has proved so, very much, and having got used to it I haven't yet got round to trailing any other method (though it is on my to do list). The floral spray is not washable (it is water proof but not rough and tumble/abrasion proof so can't be machine washed or dry cleaned) and as everything I make is for weddings, being wear-once occasions having it items washable isn't necessary. The floral paint supplies have been badly affected by Brexit issues though so I may need to get a move on finding other ways to colour my skirts!
It's not washable using this spray I'm afraid. I did a wash test and the colour faded A LOT and unevenly. There might be other sprays or dyes which could be washed, but I haven't tried anything but this so far.
I have dreamt of having a wedding dress just like this but dare not do it myself . Do you do this for the not so brave hearted ? If so what do you charge? Many many thanks Lainy
Catherine Thompson... just the tulle. In an ideal world I'd have sprayed another few coats/layers. It wasn't quite done enough for my own satisfaction but I was limited on both time and the spray paint!
Would you reccomend this paint for any tulle fabric? I just ordered my wedding dress yesterday and I'm imagining adding a very LIGHT ombre to the hem of the tulle, to give it a sort of "rising out of sea foam" look. There aren't many places that do it professionally or don't charge a ridiculous amount. And I'm nervous but your video has me a little at ease.
Ariana Gonzalez I'm no expert, this was the first and only dress I've sprayed but I can't see why it wouldn't work the same way on any tulle. Always do a test first if you can!
hi, so sorry for the slow reply, you can buy Oasis spray from UK floristry supply websites, from the oasis website direct or from amazon and ebay sellers. Google will bring you up lots of links!
Hi, for the photoshoot dress in this video I was working with donated paint cans, that were already partly used so I don't know exactly. But I think roughly one whole can of each colour. if you want to be sure you won't run out, two whole cans of each colour will be more than enough!
Hey Ali...It was in fact a florists spray, called 'Oasis' as that was donated for the photoshoot. Probably not ideal for a dress for a real wedding or to be laundered but it did the job for our shoot! See my blog post on my website for all the info.
I just wanted to say thank you for this I actually did this to my own dress different color scheme but it was perfect 💗😊
Did you have to wash it afterwards? What kind of paint did you use? Looking to do my own too and would appreciate some pointers! Thank you!
What kind of paint did you use? I’m having a difficult time finding the spray in the video!

❤❤❤
If I did an actual dip dye (dipping it into a dye bath), would the masking tape block the dye from spreading?
I love this!! What was the brand of spray you used? I tried googling Spray Color and nothing came up
As mentioned in a lot of the other comments, I used Oasis Floral Spray 😄
Does the paint leave a lasting heavy smell? Does it make the material harden badly?
it does stiffen fabric a little, but not too noticeably on something that isn't super soft already. I tend to spray onto middle weight tulle, not super soft for this reason.

Hi there Felicity, wanted to ask why the decision for spray paint dye as opposed to a powder or liquid dye?

Would this work on a dress that is champagne colored? With ivory lace overlay? This dress is so beautiful! Love your work.
as long as the background colour is paler than the colours you are adding it should work fine! Do share your dress when it's done! xxxx
What brand spray did you use?
Yolanda Pacheco oasis floral spray is what was used!
this dress is beautiful
wow that is so beautiful! what kind of spray paint did you use.. I want to do this to my old dress and give it a new life :)

How did it last when you washed it?
I have never washed it, sorry so I can't comment
I love this. What kind of paint is used?
So sorry I didn't see your question earlier, as shown in the video I used 'oasis' spray. You can buy it from UK floristry supply wholesalers or on amazon.
Could this be done to satin or silk? Looks wonderful by the way thank you for this video!
This spray will work on any fabric. Silk or satin would be fine. This dress has a silk layer behind behind tulle.
Thank you!! :)
Felicity Westmacott would you make the dress for customers my email is brianarain08@icloud.com fall in love with this dress can’t find no one too do this
Is there a specific kind of spray color you would recommend? If so could you tell me where to find it?
Hi, as on all
The other replies below 😜 I used oasis floral spray. I buy it from various floristry suppliers though stocks are low at the moment as Brexit has delayed imports from the manufacturer.
could you name which colors you used? I'm looking to achieve a similar ombre!
Yellow, Orange, Holiday red, Carnation red, Cranberry red, and Violet xxxx
What type of spray paint did u use
As shown in the video I used 'oasis spray' - which is made for flowers, search in florist supplies websites
I saw a dress like this on pintrest with a link to a page
Lots of people have made dip dye dresses I am sure. I hope you like seeing how I did mine. Xx
hi how many spray cans went for this? did you have to use extra cans from the same color?
Hi, in this original dress, which was the first I ever did I had donated cans, some of which were already partly used so it's very hard to say exactly how many I used. But when I do the same design again now I always make sure I have at least two of each colour in stock.

Thank you very much.. this is lovely ❤
I LOVEEEEEE it
Why do you use flower paint and not fabric paint?

which spray you used ? can you tell me the name ? and did it fade while washing the dress? can i use the spray on satin or silk ? or anything ?
krati dadheech oasis floral spray is what was used!
How u go to about washing it. Would the colors come out ??
It's not washable using this spray I'm afraid. I did a wash test and the colour faded A LOT and unevenly. There might be other sprays or dyes which could be washed, but I haven't tried anything but this so far.

Absolutely! Drop me a message via my website and I'll send you over all the information! www.felicitywestmacott.co.uk 😘
Where did you get the dress beforehand? I have a wedding next year and I was gonna do something like that but in galaxy
Jayla Ari'Anna Green as shown in the video I made the dress myself from scratch. I am a professional wedding dressmaker. www.felicitywestmacott.co.uk
Even though she made it, you can find used wedding dresses at good will, thrift stores and really almost anywhere for a great price
Did you spray the fabric underneath or just the tulle?
Catherine Thompson... just the tulle. In an ideal world I'd have sprayed another few coats/layers. It wasn't quite done enough for my own satisfaction but I was limited on both time and the spray paint!

Is that just regular spray paint??
I used oasis florists spray
See my blog post for all the details... www.felicitywestmacott.co.uk
Hey,can you/someone tell me what that SPRAY Called ??
As mentioned on multiple questions here,, on my blog and in the video it is Oasis floral spray. I hope your project goes well. 😘

Great job. I feel motivated. Of course, I will practice on a dummy dress :-). Where can I find this oasis floral spray?? Does it have to be ordered?
I just googled it and bought it online. I'm in the uk though, don't know if it's available worldwide
What are the six colors..??? And it's very beautiful 😍👄
I used two shades of yellow, an orange, two shades of red and a touch of purple at the very bottom.
