DIY Dip Dye!

Mmm... So this past Wednesday, chelC-3P0 and myself decided to do some dip dye projects, this ended up being the turn out:

Of course, we wish we could give you a step-by-step tutorial, but at the moment we're lacking in adequate photographs to demonstrate what we did. I think this should suffice though

Essentially, we filled a bucket with steaming water, mixed the powder dye until fully dissolved; in this particular instance, we only had fuchsia dye - TULIP brand..

Then we dipped the top OR bottom of the dresses into the dye, depending on which ended we wanted to be fully saturated with colour.

We let the ends soak up the colour to get the faded effect of going from heavy saturation at the ends into a gradual desaturation until the opposite ends of our dresses were white.

However, after putting it into the wash BEFORE letting the entire article of clothing dry, the white portions of our dresses turned a very light pink.

Personally, we both think it looks better that way, but if you do want to maintain the white ends, then we suggest you let the dye dry out--depending on how heavily soaked the fabric is, this may take up to 8 hours.

Anyway, once we were ready, we popped the clothes into the washer; just follow your standard washer/drying procedure with appropriate detergents and fabric softeners; as long as you let the dye sit for long enough, you wont have a problem with the colour washing away.
Pop it in the dryer, et voila! DIY Dip Dye!
