Thanks slim cat. I practically fainted with excitement when I pulled the teal jeans out of the washing machine. Why aren’t the stores full of teal jeans???
Thanks Jonesy. I’m so happy to have inspired you! I hope your DIY worked out.
Thanks BlueJay. That Cue mesh top is a real winner. I’d love something similar in - you guessed it - teal. (Is there a pattern here…)
I LOVE this!!!! Your outfits are incredible, and wow, those jeans look like something you'd see on pret-a-porter. My favorite lewks are the teal. You look like a rockstar!
I am wondering how this will work on my favorite dark wash denim dress. I love the style and fit, but never loved the color. I am going to thrift some cheap dark wash denim in the same fabrication (100% cotton), do a test, and decide about this dress.
Thanks Mary Beth. I think denim overdyes really well if you want a reddish or purplish result, or just a different shade of blue. I’ve had a lot of success with overdyeing blue items lately to burgundy or plum tones. I think it gets a bit more complicated with overdyeing in yellowish colours because the denim can start to look dirty. Of course, dirty denim is a trend in itself so that may be a good result, depending on what you are after.
As always love your color palette and bravery. I actually found burgundy chino fabric “jeans” and teal cords last year. Late in the season, so like new for this fall. Filling my jean gaps without any denim made me very happy.
WOW! These are all ultra fantastic. I especially love, love, love the teal ones. So unique! I have always been afraid to attempt dying anything in the washing machine for fear of not getting all the dye out of the machine and ruining other clothes.
I love this!,,, and am inspired to dye my long denim skirts that are modern this year but may be dated next year. The white one needs help now. It got washed with a new very dark blue denim skirt and it is now partly light blue due to fading.
Thanks Joy. I am loving the wine skirt. It feels like a different way to wear denim.
Thanks Karie. I understand! It can be an issue, especially if you wear a lot of white. You can use the stove top method but I am personally more fearful of that. I like my white kitchen without dye marks! I think some people just use a bucket of hot water outside, which is pretty safe but a little harder to get a deep, saturated result.
