hi, just dyed my wedding shoes black, to go with a new dress for a christening im going to next week.
i thought i'd buggered them up to start off with as they seemed to go navy at first.
but after 2 hours in the dye. they have turned out fab, jet black and look brand new.

now im thinking off dyeing my wedding dress.
although im quite scared to, its not much use really. and i don't want to sell it or dump it.

the dress is, straight across the top with a fish tail skirt,so its not a big puffball thing,you could get away with wearing it, to a ball, or a very fancy do,
if it was coloured it could look quite cocktail/ball dress like.

although the only problem is, i never get invited to anything fancy like balls. and it may look a little ott for pizza express lol
i wouldn't be heartbroken if i ruined it tbh as im never gonna get the chance to wear it again as it is

i wonder what colour i should try and dye it ? and have any of you done this or similar before?

I haven't but I'd be quite careful because I htink sometimes the thread can take differently to the fabric of the dress. If you really love it perhaps get it done professionally?

i love to get it done professionally, do you know anywhere in the uk that does this ? id be very happy if anyone can tell me

ive asked at all the dry cleaners etc that are local to me and they don't do it or even know anywhere that does.
