Basically have a wedding next week, dress finally came but not as the colour advertised. What is the best way to go about dying this green if I can? I know over grey it will be muted but I'm okay with that, prefer an earthy muted colour anyways!

I've included a photo with the tag on what the fabric composition is.

Thank you🙏

Inspiration Duochrome? Denim color suggestions

0 Upvotes

I saw this trench coat on Desigual, and I am obsessed with the blue to red color shift happening here.

Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this at home? My first guess is to play around with airbrushing that's sprayed over a dark denim (cotton) from a horizontal direction (like an overspray?) so that it would catch the fibers at an angle, but i have never tried something like that, so I have no idea if that is a reasonable starting point. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

How do I dye this? I'm dyeing some clothes by staining them with coffee grounds. How long should I keep them in the vat for?

1 Upvotes

It's been a minute since I've dyed and I've only done this coffee method once years ago. Does anybody know how long I should keep it in for to get a nice, mid-tone color (think caramel)

For context, I'm dying a piece of shapewear that's this light tone (kinda like this) and I put about 5-6 spoonfuls of coffee ground into a mesh bag. I'm boiling it in a steel stockpot on my stove and I put in Cascade and salt to make the color stay. It's been dyeing for about 44 minutes now and it's still just a little darker, but not the color I want.

I'll keep checking it intermittently, but how long should I keep it in for? Should I add something else?

How do I dye this shirt pale butter yellow? It’s 95% polyester and 5% elastane. I’m afraid I will mess up the stretch or shape bc of the heat. As well as what brand of dye should i get?

Chatgpt suggested 90% synthetic Rit racing red + 10% synthetic Rit apricot.

I’m so scared because it’s for two bridesmaid dresses that I can’t afford to replace if it doesn't work.

They are purplish burgundy chiffon and I need them to be reddish burgundy.

Any suggestions or tips? would you simmer for shorter time since I just need the hue slightly changed?

Hello there! I have this 100% cotton shirt in mustard yellow that I'd like to dye brown or anthracite grey.

I know the stitching probably won't absorb the dye, since it's likely made of polyester, so do you have any suggestions? what colour should I dye my shirt and which dye should I use? thank youuuu!

How do I dye this? I knit this sweater and don't like the color. Would this composition be good to dye without shrinking?

I used Knit Picks Aloft in Oat (72% Mohair & 28% Silk) and Palette in Oyster Heather (pure wool - not superwash). It's a bit to close to my skin tone to wear regularly. I'm thinking a rose pink color. Is there a type of dye or process you suggest to make sure it doesn't shrink? I like the fit.
