Changing Colour is Simple!

Well this post will be about crafting mainly.... 

My work had a staff party on Monday, the theme was Casino Royal... hens boys dressed in suits and girls in pretty dresses. 

I really did not feel like going to getting a new dress, besides what would be the odds to come in to the party and some one else has the same dress. I would have been mortified. So I thought I'd wear a suit.

Hubby said "NO woman wear a dress!" friend Viera said "But you have so many beautiful vintage dresses"...

Oh yes, I do have tons of unique vintage pieces obtained on ebay. But I don't fit in most of them... or so I though... 

I got this lilac beauty by accident.. well it's ebay it happens! But I could never zip it up. And for 2 years it just stayed in the wardrobe...

The belt and hem need fixing and I just need an occasion to wear it to!

 But for this even I needed something less romantic... 

I bought an emerald green strapless dress... it was fading on bones that hold the top together... What to do? 

But then youtube came to the rescue!

Next day after watching this I headed out to HobbyCraft store. 

It could not be simpler. The only hassle I had is to measure everything out and stirring the dress in the tiny bucket I had... 

And here is the result...

This is with Instragram filter on... but check out how intense the colour came out to be!

My unique vintage dress been given a new life!

Would I dye something again? You bet! 

But now I'm having a bleaching project in mind... also this time I will not forget to take picture before!
