Try the inside seams perhaps with dye on a Q-tip? Also how about lavender mixed with the gray for a <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dusty%20lavender%20dress&psj=1&num=18&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bpcl=39650382&biw=1003&bih=648&wrapid=tlif135515269502810&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=fi&ei=aP3FUIuWJKLp0QGQjICICw" rel="nofollow">dusty lavender shade.</a> That could be really pretty. Sorta similar to the color of the top you wore to the meetup. <br /><br />If it still doesn't work and is pale enough, you could then try the deep green, maybe a blue-green in fact?lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-2911799423116505682012-12-10T07:43:49.046-05:002012-12-10T07:43:49.046-05:00Wow that dress is great!

I don't have any dying experience. Whatever you decide to do if it doesn't turn out the way you expected at least your not out a boatload of money.

You're probably right that the thread and the lining won't take the dye so I'd pick something that would use the contrast as an "effect". And I agree with the others, the best thing about thrifting is trying stuff out - so why not just go for it? sallie oleta barbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184217699471081340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938936179596176735.post-6637606579827673042012-12-09T06:38:55.629-05:002012-12-09T06:38:55.629-05:00The dress...oooh!
