Dyeable or no?
I just got engaged on Valentine's Day to my boyfriend of six years! We are planning our wedding in only eight months and getting everything together has been so crazy.
So in my future mother in law's culture it is really important to her that I have a black gown for the wedding day (it's something about luck or longevitiy of the marriage I'm not sure but I want to make her and my fiance happy). I already picked out my wedding dress which is actually white. I was thinking a compromise would be to wear a black gown for the reception. I haven't found any black gowns I like that are within my budget because most of my dress budget was spent on my ceremony dress. I decided to look online at David's Bridal's sale and found a dress that is so my style and within my budget. The problem is, it's not black.
I will have very little budget (about $250) if I buy the dress on sale but I thought that would go for alterations. I was hoping to dye the dress at home with Rit or something similar. The site says the dress is polyester and tulle. Anyone have any tips or am I going to ruin a perfectly beautiful dress attempting this?
