This was such a fun upcycle! This purple dress has been sitting in my closet for years. Yes, years. I bought it from Target at some crazy low price thinking I would wear it all the time. Fast forward a few years and it hasn’t been worn once. It was time to give it a new life.
I started by dying the dress with Rit dye. Then I created a polka dot template and used fabric dye to carefully paint each circle. It took a lot of time and patience, but I adore this new dress!
This was the first article of clothing that I’ve printed this way. I must say, I’ve become a fan! It was a ton of fun and now I have more projects racing thru my head. Have you ever printed anything?
Awww this dress is so adorable!! yay for fun and cute diy projects!

This is a big improvement, now it's super cute and original!
WOW!! That's incredible!!! SUCH a cute dress!
Wouldn't pick them as the same dress – brilliant work!!!
So adorable!! And you are by far the cutest pregnant lady
What a great DIY! I am just starting to find out about the wonders of fabric paint. The last time I used it was when it was neon and puffy and I was making camp t-shirts.
Great refashion! The colors are fabulous.
I just started printing fabric, and absolutely LOVE it. And since there isn't a great selection for boys knits, I'm definitely going to print knits for my son.
Now how did you do it.. Aren't you just talented??? Very!! Love the dress and the transition!!!
N you look beautiful dear

What an amazing dress transformation! I started a fibers degree in college (but decided to have more babies before I finished) and learned how to dye fabric and paint on it. I miss that process & seeing you in this dress totally makes me want to get back into it.
PS – Your baby bump is adorable

I also just found your blog and I am in love! This dress is so adorable! I need to get over my fear of fabric dye and try it out
Your tutorials/refashions make me want to do more and make mine better! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent! Fabric dyeing is tons of fun! I did a tutorial on how to dye your clothes if you need it. You can find it under the tutorials tab. If you’re afraid, try dyeing a couple things you’re okay if they don’t turn out perfect. Good luck and I’m glad you found my blog! Welcome
