Lavender Dream

Step 1:

Before dying this much loved jacket, I removed part of the sleeves that were worn through. I then dyed this jacket with violet Rit dye. I dissolved a packet of dye in hot water and then added it to a bucket with enough water to cover the garment. I let it sit for a couple of hours stirring every 15 minutes. I added a green lace ruffle to each sleeve edge, and to the center back. I added vintage lingerie lace (from my stash from college) to the front and back. I appliqued an original photo to the back. I removed the original collar and added part of a man's tie and pearls.
