How do I post pictures?

It was easier than easy.

[Wende]

Thank you sunny sun for the reco. I just joined *theknot.com I wish I knew about it months ago.

[Sunny Sunshine]

Oh i am so jealous!!! What color did you do? Did you do it in your washer? How did it come out???

Host those pictures, take the links and post em! Or link us to them

[Sunny Sunshine]

Oh and the knot kicks ass. Stay away from the Planning and Ettiquette boards. Those girls are mean and snarky!

[HoopsTer]

ummm mean and snarky doesnt even begin to cover it! Plain ole bitch is more like it!

I usually hang around the Winter Wedding forum and you should hear the bitches bitch about snow.. Hi if you dont like snow and you live in Michigan, dont get married in January. DUH!

Bridezillas.

[Sunny Sunshine]

But if you find your local board, or your month board, it's a great little community of brides in the same situation as you are Lots of help! I'm on the NH board and the June '09 board. And I love pretty much all the ladies there

[Sunny Sunshine]

The VT board for you Terra

Wende, where are you NY right?

[Wende]

I'm crying. I f'cked it all up. I wanted lilac and got purple. The bottle said to use the whole bottle for 2lbs of fabric. I figured I had 2lbs of fabric and forgot that purple is not what I wanted. Total duh moment. Anyone want a *purple* crinoline?


Do I try washing it? Warm water? Cold? eeeeeeek. 50 dollar brand new crinoline.

[Sunny Sunshine]

Maybe try washing with a little bleach mixed in?

[Wende]

When are you thinking Terra?

Tentative date was Febuary 27, 2010. But given the economy (Stephen's a financial planner ) and the new Pfizer-Wyeth announcement, we havent committed or put a deposit in with our venue....so all I know is winter 2010...that could mean January, Febuary, March or hell even December. It all depends on the dates that are available with Mountaintop when we can make the financial committment.

[HoopsTer]

Wende- wash it a few times, it may lighten up!

[bsktcase]

Wende- wash it a few times, it may lighten up!

Bleach might turn it hot pink! Be careful!! Oh..and good luck!

[Wende]

ok, it's purple. Washed again but it didn't lighten up. It only looked more worn around the lace parts. I don't want to wash it anymore. I will deal with it. I just won't lift up my dress too much for pics.

I just took pics of it but I don't know how to get them up here. Thats why I love Facebook so much. SO easy.

[Wende]

It INSTANTLY turned purple. The directions tell you to agitate it for at least a half hour. I turned it on the rinse cycle IMMEDIATELY after I dipped it. Couldn't imagine if I let it sit.

[Sunny Sunshine]

What was the color number you used? Did you use Rite? What are the materials on your crin?

[Wende]

100% nylon. RIT dye. I made the mistake of using the liquid vs the powder. I believe the powder is more subtle.

I posted pictures on my facebook. Tell me what you think.

[Jersey Thug]

Wende, if you hate it, and know of anyone traveling from the jersey shore area anytime soon, let me know and you can have mine - it's white and i THINK it's an 18 even!

i need to take a look to see how easily the pink trim will come off that my seamstress added (in lieu of dying the whole thing) but i'm sure it's nothing a seam ripper or whatever it's called can't fix.

[Wende]

You're awsome and thats *really* good to know.

[Sunny Sunshine]

Isn't there a boardie group now too?

[HoopsTer]

I dont have all that many boardies on my facebook.

[wabbit]

It isn't that bad Wende.. But ... Maybe if you washed it with Rit color remover? It might lighten it up a bit..

see topic 2.. this sort of applies

[Wende]

i'm going to leave it alone. Whatev. THe color of my wedding is *purples* noone said I could only have 1 or 2

[HoopsTer]

I think using different shades of the same color pallet is super fabulous. That's probably what Im going to do with blues

[Wende]

haha. Lots and lots of purples.

[georgi]

Pictures!!!!

[Sunny Sunshine]

[Sunny Sunshine]

It looks great! It is darker purple but I think it looks wonderful!

[georgi]

Ooh good job! So pretty!!!

[HoopsTer]

yeah, i really think it will look great. I like the multiple tones.

[wabbit]

I think it will look sweet peeking out from under your dress.. My dress had crinoline built in so I never even thought of dying it.. I would have loved to have added a splash of champagne color (my dress was ivory with champagne beading)

[Sunny Sunshine]

Wende, did you do it in your washer? I just don't want to ruin my parents washing machine...

[sure-ur-rightdancer]

if you are worried about the washer just do an empty load (ie no clothes) with bleach and it should get rid of all the dye -- or just do a load of towels or something else you won't care if it gets colored next

[Wende]

Yea I did it in the washer and then washed it again and my washer is good as new.
