And I VERY much appreciate all the dye setting tips and tricks. Will pick up some color catchers and do a few washes with them first; after reading the comments and those two very helpful links from <b>Lynn </b>my hunch is there's actually excess dye so hopefully a few washes will do the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916706 Sun, 06 May 2018 03:22:17 +0000 Brooklyn 1916706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute.

I use these any time I wash a brightly died garment for the first time.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916695 Sun, 06 May 2018 02:05:08 +0000 Jaime 1916695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No I think the flats are perfect.

Try tasing it with a color catcher sheet.

Genius! How frustrating about the dye though. It’s a pet peeve of mine when dye rubs off from jeans and gets onto my purse. Grrrrr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916421 Sat, 05 May 2018 10:02:45 +0000 Mainelady 1916421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, flowing and dramatic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916406 Sat, 05 May 2018 06:24:27 +0000 Mirjana 1916406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another GORGEOUS outfit with duster Aida, duster is so beautiful and suits you terrific with culottes. I like with flats surely would be also great with heel but I agree more comfortable with flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916398 Sat, 05 May 2018 05:27:53 +0000 Angie 1916398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER Gorgeous. Loving the flats. Making everything look extra current and fresh. Tassels and pom poms FTW.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916361 Sat, 05 May 2018 00:25:01 +0000 Bonnie 1916361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is terrific.

I have heard this recommended, but have not tried it.&nbsp; It is also supposed to keep colors from fading. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916350 Sat, 05 May 2018 00:10:54 +0000 Aida 1916350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>Diana</b>! Will try washing a couple times first and re-check if it's excess or unset dye, then do the soak if it's still bleeding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916344 Fri, 04 May 2018 23:55:33 +0000 Diana 1916344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A cup of vinegar in a sink full of water (hot water is better but don’t use it if you’re worried about shrinkage) and soak for a while. It’s possible that what you’re seeing is just excess dye and not unset dye, too, so it might stop by itself after a couple of washes. You might want to toss a color catcher sheet in there too (they’re sold in the laundry aisle of the supermarket and look like dryer sheets but are supposed to catch excess dye in water so it doesn’t bleed onto other colors. I don’t know how well they work for really bad bleeders though).</p> <p>ETA: yes just plain white vinegar </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916343 Fri, 04 May 2018 23:46:44 +0000 Aida 1916343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!</p> <p><b>Diana</b>, yes I meant the duster sorry. Good thinking about the tassels, didn't even occur to me. I wonder if I could wrap them or partially tape them. I don't know that it's super wearable without setting the dye at least a little more so I feel like it's worth trying! Is it really just soaking in vinegar? I'm assuming plain white distilled, and how long would you recommend? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916341 Fri, 04 May 2018 23:45:09 +0000 Toban 1916341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916340 Fri, 04 May 2018 23:42:07 +0000 Diana 1916340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so fun and swooshy and pretty! I bet it was super fun to wear too.</p> <p>About the navy dye, are you talking about the duster? sometimes a vinegar soak helps set dyes but I’d honestly be wary of getting it wet and having the navy run onto the white tassels. I can’t think of a method of setting dyes that doesn’t involve getting the item wet, unfortunately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916339 Fri, 04 May 2018 23:34:48 +0000 Anonymous 1916339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is beautiful on you. You’re right that it is not conventionally flattering but all the elements work really well together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-0503-another-duster-separates#post-1916335 Fri, 04 May 2018 23:26:47 +0000 Aida 1916335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yesterday I thought I'd try <a rel="nofollow" href="http://aida.lookfab.com/post/wiw-0427-formula-duster-separates">another version of duster+culottes</a> for some unseasonably warm weather. My initial purchasing thought for this semi-sheer navy duster was to wear with jean shorts and a breezy tank in high summer but this turned out pretty fun, too!</p> <p>This is definitely one of those outfits that is extra tricky to photograph since <i>every</i> piece has both volume and a lot of movement (and me too during photo time, apparently &gt;&lt;). I very much enjoyed all the swooshing around ^^ Maybe not everyone's cuppa with the flats -- it would certainly be more conventionally flattering with a little heel -- but I liked the more relaxed vibe the flats offered.</p> <p>Unfortunately the navy dye isn't quite set and rubbed off on various things throughout the day. Any tips on how to set it?</p> <p>Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome! </p>
