affordable, dyable crinoline

[muloove]

where can i find an affordable [around $20 or so] dyable crinoline? i got two packages of rit fushia powder dye and i want my crinny to be hot hot pink, successfully. people are saying to get the ones from ebay seller ANGEL'S BRIDAL SHOP but they are made of polyester. =/

Honestly, I'd make it/have it made. It won't be cheap, but you'll get the colour you want.

Alternatively, you could just add in a layer of hot pink tulle along the bottom edge.

i wouldnt know where to have it made. =/ maybe etsy or?

Unless you have a friend who can sew (there are patterns) you could resort to a seamstress... or yes, try posting an alchemy.

Sorry, seeing as I sew myself (plus have lots of avid sewing family members) I've never needed to look for someone.

The cheapest way would probably be to get a crinoline off eBay, then purchase a couple of yards of hot pink tulle. Cut off some of the length of the crinoline and sew the same length of hot pink tulle in to replace it.

i can possibly do that. i know a lady who's going to size my dress for me so she can obviously fix up the crinny. although i'm sadly set on diy'ing the crinny. i want to get hot pink dye all over the place and have fun with it. i hate people doing things for me. lol

oh! $25! not bad! now, i wonder if that includes the crinnny or if i'll have to find one. i've seen sites where i'd have to get my own, ship it to them and they'd dye it. lol. but, i'll look around. thanks so much!

If you read the description you'd have to purchase the crinoline, get it to them, then pay $25 plus $12 shipping for them to dye it.

eesh. yea, i did read it after i posted. its way too pricey for me. i cant spend no more than $20 or so all together. i just cant imagine spending well over $60.

Haha... too bad this person dyed their's purple, but hey... maybe you could find the original white version on eBay for cheap?

[muloove]

yea, i think i might end up going to davids bridal anyways to get a crinoline and dye it.

when do you need it? My wedding is in 2 1/2 weeks (omg, omg, omg, omg!) and my crinny is totally hot pink. I would be willing to sell it to you for a fraction of what it cost me (about $60). I have pictures of it if you are interested, just let me know.

sep. 12 is the wedding. if you have pictures, i'd LOVE to see it. and let me know the price. i'm trying to go really affordable right now.
and congrats on your wedding!!!!! ah!!!!!! i'm soo anxious. so much lost sleep, but in a good way. haha
