I've *worn* and hung my items next to whites and beiges with no color transfer, but I don't think that was the question... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563988 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:57:05 +0000 ironkurtin 563988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, how colorfast is IDye? Rit can bleed onto other fabrics in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563953 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:02:34 +0000 Anonymous 563953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Rae's "deep orange". I'm thinking a bittersweet color. You also look fabulous in blues. A denim blue might be fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563946 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 03:51:46 +0000 rae 563946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana beat me to it! lol. Yep, I really like iDye and have also used Tulip once when I couldn't find the color I wanted. </p> <p>I have not tried mixing colors yet. Note that if you use iDye you pretty much have to have a 50/50 color mix, because the dye comes in a little dissolvable square - you can't do a tsp of this and a half cup of that the way RIT suggests for mixing colors. I guess you could dissolve both squares into separate water baths, and then mix wet, but you would end up wasting a lot of pigment. </p> <p>Rusty red sounds great! Maybe the "crimson" iDye color? Or "deep orange" would be fun, too, but you seem to like more muted colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563937 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 03:30:10 +0000 ManidipaM 563937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purple! (Wow, we've all got opinions, haven't we, and ALL different! Go with your heart, Dana! And with what best complements your wardrobe.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563934 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 03:28:41 +0000 Anonymous 563934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking of dying mine a raspberry color. I wonder if I could mix red and pink dyes to achieve the color? I'm researching into the issue:)<br /> If not, red is my next choice so I say go for it!<br /> I've heard Idye is the best. Rae confirmed that earlier today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563882 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:18:37 +0000 Jenava 563882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think it would be cute in navy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563870 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 02:04:05 +0000 Diana 563870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Orange! </p> <p>I think Rae did this successfully recently.... it's probably on her blog.<br /> ETA: Yup, here is Rae's blog post:<br /> <a href="http://onedollarwonders.blogspot.com/2012/01/jacquard-idye-review-fire-red-and.html" rel="nofollow">http://onedollarwonders.blogsp.....d-and.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563818 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:29:40 +0000 IndyGal 563818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No suggestions, unfortunately, but I'm fascinated at the prospect of dying clothes! Have never considered this before! The red sounds great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-color-shall-i-dye-this-trench#post-563809 Sun, 11 Mar 2012 01:25:32 +0000 ironkurtin 563809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you see my earlier thread today, you'll know I have too many green/tan trenchy coats. Thinking of dying this one a rusty brick red. Any other color suggestions? And suggestions on what dye brand to use?</p> <p>It's 100% cotton, it should dye just fine. </p>
