THRIFT FLIP: dyeing my old clothes with Rit dye

Dyeing old clothes is a great way to revive them and get more wear out of them!
I am by no means a "sad beige" pinterest/instagram girlie, but I love some cozy brown tones in my wardrobe.

I also like new the color of the pants🤎

🤎 the embroidery/ lace on the dress is really beautiful. It’s much more noticeable when it’s brown ☺️ I think a little darker would be better, the color is a bit too close to your skin color as it is. Sad thing about the stains though 😕
Those pants are literally perfect, love the new color 😍 and the short also turned out perfectly. They both fit you like a glove, the dress too ☺️ really great thrift finds you made and such a good idea to dye them to fit your style better

You know, this dress would make a really cute apron, since you're already considering using it for work. The fabric from the back, where the stains are, could be turned into ties and maybe a pocket? 🦔

[@OutfitRepeater]

Haha my husband also said it looks like an apron 😂

[@StrawberryMad6]

Add doilies to the dress over the stains and randomly/decoratively on the front. You could also use a couple as pockets!

I really like that approach. Or fabric leaves might work.

[@AshleyReilly-ir6gy]

I love this. so funny and authentic 😂🐿️🪶

The trick to dying clothing is to have the clothing wet before you put it into the dye bath. It prevents splotching and unevenness.

[@OutfitRepeater]

Yes, they were already wet :)

[@paulinaimable13]

You could turn the dress into a blouse and wear it with your new pants.😃

[@OutfitRepeater]

that's actually not a bad idea... it would be a cute summer top!

[@MichelleMonstera]

💩 brown emoji 🤣 this was really fun to watch! More, more!

[@vickyrushton1783]

The dress add extra lace or crop it above the stains

[@ferson8734]

dye the dress black!

[@OutfitRepeater]

Lol I totally would except I’m pretty sure the stains would still just be darker than the rest of the fabric 😫😂
