But the jacket was cotton, and natural fibers are always a great candidate for a dye bath!
She selected Rit Scarlet liquid dye (cuz she's fiery like that) and we threw both this blazer, (as well as a pair of cool but faded Frankie B jeans) into the washing cycle. (A note: to achieve a deeper color, use two bottles, or do not combine with other items. Our goal was too make a softer hue than the above shade so thinning out the dye was perfect)!
And the result!
A stunning, coral hued blazer for perfect, fall layering!
Tanya paired it with her favorite Genetic jeans and suede, grey pumps.
Such an easy little piece to throw over just about anything...
A little bronze jewelry completed the deal.
This color is such a knockout. Any skin tone can wear it too!
Next time you find a great item that just needs a little TLC, or something of your own that's been stained or darkened a bit, check the fabric content. If it's a natural fiber, you just might have yourself a great little number for some serious color renewal!
Love,
Noa B and Tanya D

Looooove it! Does the intensity of the color depend on how long you leave it in as well?
