I finally was able to dye my petticoat to wear under my wedding dress this past week and wanted to share it with you! It was relatively easy but I do suggest getting some help! Both my mom and dad helped me!!
All I used:
-A package of RIT dye
-Washing Machine
-Bowl and spoon
-petticoat
 |
| Put the petticoat into the washing machine. Make sure it is hot water( the hot water will set the color). Get the petticoat nice and wet- I let it soak for about five minutes while we mixed the dye! |
 |
| Take the petticoat out of the washer and put it in a bin or somewhere while you put the dye into the machine! (That's my mom and dad!) |
 |
| Dad mixing up the dye- just follow the directions on the box! Empty the dye into the washer! |
 |
| Then put your petticoat into the washer after you have put in the dye. We just put it in like normal clothing. I would not recommend putting it over the long white thing in the center because it gets twisted fairly easily! |
 |
| Yay it's pink! Now you need to watch it closely- mine dyed pretty quickly. Make sure you do not let it rinse at this point. We just left the lid open and that way it will not complete a cycle. Every ten minutes or so take it out and untwist it so that it won't look tie-dyed!! When you see the color you want let it go through a whole cycle-rinse, spin and all! |
 |
| Take it out and hang it on a hangar over the shower or anywhere else that can withstand dripping- don't worry it should not drip pink or whatever color you want to dye yours! |
It was actually pretty easy and a lot of fun! If you have a question feel free to comment and I will answer it! I can't wait to see what it looks like under my dress!!
