Dyeing or painting a wedding dress

Would this work on tulle? With the spray maybe? If it was just a light 1 coat thing?

This is super intriguing.

I just wanted to stop in and say: That dress is gorgeous on you and is the perfect blank canvas. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

There's one called idye or something that's poly approved and works. It comes in little packets at joanns.

I wanna see the finished project also!!

I agree with some of the other ladies. If you dye the dress, I hope you post pictures for all of us to see. Good luck.

You all are so sweet!!! I'll definitely post pictures when I'm done. I can't decide on a color- our wedding will be in a botanical garden, so really any color would probably be great! I think I'm leaning towards a pretty periwinkle blue or lavender, though. I'm planning on using the iDye for polyester.

@BoozyBaker, I would guess that it would work on tulle, just depending on the fiber content, of course. If you did the spray, you may want to have a layer of garbage bag or newspaper to protect the lining from getting spotty. I imagine that would be super pretty, though!

@Laura, I think this is the picture that you are referring to? You are right, it's from The Knot Summer edition. It was hand painted by artisans in Colombia. How do you even find someone like that?! I fell in love with this and while I am an artist I could never paint a dress. I considered dip dying though! Alex, I can't wait to see your creation!

@jorocka for the win. That dress is awesome!

Oooh I love this idea! You should dye your veil too! I'm obsessed with this one in rose gold...

Oh, I hadn't even thought about dyeing a veil! that's a fun idea!!! I'll have to tackle that once I finish the dress.

OMG someone who got married at my venue did this, and her gown is to die for!!! Please do it and show us all!

Here are some of my thoughts so far... Which do you ladies like best?!

.

The 2nd one!!!

Second

OMG the second one!!

OP, I'm so glad to see how amazing your drawings are. I'll be honest, there was definitely a part of me that was wondering if this was going to end in a Pinterest-fail, but seeing your concept drawings, omg you must must must post pics when it's done!!

@kerry YES! That is the dress I was thinking of! It is beautiful!

ETa: I love the blue. But I think I like the second one better for a wedding.

Love this dress. Sounds so unique please post pics if you do it.

One last idea for the running:

Omg, they are all beautiful! I would buy any one of them just because!

I do like #2 best for a wedding though.
