It should have been black!
Jan. 25th, 2004 04:26 pmToday I finally got around trying to dye my yellow velvet black so that I could use it for the loose gown from Patterns of Fashion. I used lots of dye, like 90 $ worth of Dylon machine dye, and salt and it looked good, the water being all black in the machine.
One hour later I open the washing machine and take out this gorgeous dark forest green velvet!! it's absolutely wonderful, but definitely not black.
I don't really feel that I've lost something. Now I have to look around for black cotton velvet or velveteen with a short pile before I can start on the gown. On the other hand I have this gorgeous green velvet, in a colour that is hard to find in shops, that probably will become something german as soon as I get my waist back.
