whoever thought of this is a smart, smart person.

So I bought this total monstrosity of a dress at the thrift store recently, mostly for the massively-sleeved bolero jacket that came with it (I have Dragoncon costumes to plan for. Don't judge me), and I have been trying to determine the best thing to do with all this fabric. I had settled on dyeing it a nice dark blue (it's currently ivory), so I went over to Dick Blick to figure out the best sort of dye.

Which is where I came across this: a brand of dye that's made for throwing in the washing machine with whatever you're dyeing. Um, how had I not heard of this before? This is genius! Holy crap! My theoretical steampunk costume just got 800 times easier.

You can also use Rit dye in the washing machine.

...See, if I had known that, there would be one less blue bathtub in the world.
