Costuming win

[kate_lb]

Found a skirt at Target.  It was actually in the girls section, with the school uniform stuff, a size 18 or 20.  I was sure it wouldn't fit, but I decided to give it a go and try it on anyway.  Success!  The only issue with it now is that it's polyester, which is apparently a bitch to dye.  But yay for theater people, lonelyflutterby is ask a costuming person she

Hooray! I haven't had a chance to look yet but am very encourage by your find. Have fun with the dyeing-here is a link to properly dyeing polyester (not for the faint of heart http://www.prochemical.com/directions/ProsperseImmersionPolyester.htm

Another option is fabric crayons http://www.pburch.net/dyeing/example28.shtml
I have never done a skirt but made a white polyester shirt a rainbow colored one using this method-I not sure how clean an effect you could get. In my project it didn't matter as crazy was the requirement. This is iron on and much easier than dyeing.

Hmm, the fabric crayons are an idea. I'll have to look into that.

I never even thought about dying a skirt that I find. I like it though, it's awesome :)
