Back to the Orchard Dress
After living in the south for a while, you get used to quirky season changes. Of course, it’s fall, but with temps in the mid to upper 80′s on random days, you’d never know it.
Enter this extremely summer-y dress:
Why hello there, Strawberry Shortcake! :/
So what can I do? I want something autumn-y for a day spent at an apple orchard and wineries in NC.
I made a dye bath in my washing machine with a bunch o’ this:
A whole bunch o’ this!
…and just a little of this:
…and just a dab o’ this!
And look what we have now! 🙂
A perfect Fall hue!
Now my dress is perfect for a super-warm, but still fall day with wonderful friends! 🙂
Pre-Apple Picking Coffee time! 🙂
Ready to pick some apples! 🙂
NOM!
RAWRRR! APPLE!!!
Forget Jack and Jill…It’s Jonny and Jill! 🙂
Welcome to Sky Top! 🙂
Mmmmnnn…Wine! 🙂
Just a perfect day with wonderful friends in a fabulous frock! Who could ask for more?
Cheers!

Oh, I love it! You look positively elegant, my dear!
Such an amazingly simple, yet drastic change that is truly amazing. You have an awesome gift of being able to imagine what a clothing item can become and this time you definitely delivered!
Which one is the new Gent ? 🙂
Haha…New Gent couldn’t make it for this trip, so he was at home with his son. 🙂
LOVE! Amazing what a little dye can do! It looks beautiful on too! 🙂
Thanks! I looooove dyeing stuff!
Perfect! LOVE the pic of you and Jonny skipping through the apple orchard!
Thanks! I think it’s pretty special, too! 🙂
I never think about mixing dyes, I’ll have to try that sometime. 😀
