Dip Dyed ASOS Skater Dress


I picked up this ASOS Skater dress some months ago for a party but got bored of it quickly. I think it’s the pinafore bit at the front that reminds me of my old school uniform.. or maybe something about the stiff white cotton.. I can’t really put my finger on it..

On the weekend, I introduced it to some Dylon fabric dye in French Lavender and this is the result:

Once you start dyeing it’s hard to stop. I also found a bunch of old shirts and pants that could do with some refreshing! The RIT dye website has a few ideas and techniques. Would love to try the Japanese wrap-dyed shibori on a skirt. Will pick up some more colours over the weekend!

    That’s amazing, what a great idea! I’ve been thinking about customizing my clothes for a while now, I think you’ve inspired me to actually do it!

    Is super gorgeous! I like the colour and the dress design! But sadly no tutorial provided to dye this effect…

    this is out of topic but I wonder what size are you wearing?
    I order uk8 but it’s so uncomfortable after eating TT the waist is 26 inch and my is 27
    am afraid uk10 will be too big, will it?

      I remember sending you a twitter reply :) I am wearing a 10. Maybe you can get a size bigger and take it in a bit at a tailor if it’s too big?
