My boyfriend found a wedding dress in the thrift store dumpster. He gave it to me and I decided to make some serious alterations...
Note: This tutorial uses images from the video game Enchanted, which is based on the Disney movie.

First, Get your cauldron out and fill it with hot, almost boiling water. Add a cup of salt, then add the black dye into the mix. Stir clockwise to blend all the ingredients.
-
Submerge the dress in the dye and continue to stir clockwise.
-
After an hour or few, the dress turns a pale grey color with black accents.
Hang it up to dry in the sun... -
Empty the bucket and make a new batch of purple dye, and stir it up.
-
Put the dry dress in the purple dye. Stir clockwise and make sure to get the entire dress covered. Leave in for a long time.....
-
The end result is amazing! The trim and tulle got turned black, and the rest of the dress a light violet. I used scissors to cut the outer part of the dress shorter.
