Lil Spinoff from Denise' post...Dyeing your crinoline

I got these instructions when I googled it so hopefully it helps those interested in dying their crinoline. I had to squint to retype those tiny instructions.

Dyeing crinoline

1) Crinoline dead on the floor (wth?)

2) Dye premixed before putting it in. Hot water from the machine filled with one tablespoon of detergent.

3) Get the crinoline nice and wet with the warm water from the machine. Be Careful!

4) Pull out the crinoline and add the dye close to the machine and let it mix for a couple of seconds

5) Put in your crinoline. If you can use the center thing as a person, put it on it like a dress, this helps with bunching and wont cause a tiedye effect.

6) Make sure to get the crinoline all the way in there.

7) This is half way through. Make sure you go down and restart the cycle before the rinse cycle starts. For deeper color do it more than once.

8) This is once the waters drained and before it starts to spin dry. Nylon doesnt take dye like tulle does so it will be lighter than your tulle.

Alot of people use Ritdye. And you usually only need 1- 1/2 bottles.

yup this is what my friend did. If you're worried about staining your machine, just do one cycle afterwards with bleach.

Is anyone else worried that the color will rub off or somehow seep through onto your dress if it gets wet? I am nervous about that...

Yeh, I don't know if I'd trust dyeing it on my own..I'd be PISSED if I was the cause of messing up my dress. I'm sure they sell them somewhere pre-dyed and sealed.
