Instructions:
- Prewash your dress and leave damp.
- Fill dye pot with enough hot water (just below 200F) to submerge the top section of your dress to move freely, roughly 1-2 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 top half of the damp dress into dyebath and continuously pull up and down for 5-10 minutes with tongs to create a smooth gradient.
- When desired color is achieved, remove dress from the dyebath and rinse just the dyed area in warm water, then gradually cool.
- Repeat Steps 2-6 with a second color to dip dye the bottom of the dress.
- Machine wash your dress on gentle cycle with an old towel in cold water with mild detergent and hang dry.
