Crossing with you! What sort of dye and method are you using???

I'm using Dylon in Antique Grey. It's a handwash dye, so I'm doing it in the kitchen sink! I did a test dye first on a piece of very similar coloured linen, and after a blow-dry to check, it came out almost black, so I've drained half of the water. The wet dress is now only a few shades darker than the picture, so when it dries it should be close. Here's to hoping!

That looks amazing, Nic! :D Glad it came out good!

I was worried it would dry lighter on you, but it came out excellent! Again, you did a great job!
