Instructions
- Prewash your dress and leave damp.
- Fill dye pot with enough hot water (just below 200F) to submerge your dress fully. There should be enough water so that the dress can move freely, roughly 2-3 gallons.
- Add one tsp of dish detergent to help promote level dyeing.
- Wearing rubber gloves, shake Rit bottle really well. Pour half a bottle (1/2 cup) of dye into dyebath and mix well.
- Immerse damp dress into dyebath and continuously stir for 15-20 minutes with tongs for even color coverage.
- When desired color is achieved, remove dress from the dyebath and rinse in warm water, then gradually cool.
- Machine wash your dress on gentle cycle with an old towel in cold water with mild detergent and hang dry
