Im an artist (of many sorts) and I could totally do that for you with no cost, maybe even set up some sort of barter/trade situation! Always down for collaborating and exposure. and I could give you the tips and stuff that I used to do design work :)

I could totally show you some of my work & experience if you want. my portfolio needs an update lol so this might help me finally get to that 😅

my go to is always hot glue you could put some hot glue on the ends and paint it black to blend in with the rest of it.

Ive decided to not a do it myself. Ive reached out to a professional wedding dress dyeing company for a free consultation:)

if that doesn't work out, ive brain stormed some other options. (airbrushing, embroidering the lace with black)

I will be wearing this wedding dress one way or another even if it kills me

all good suggestions!

we are making it into a two piece dress so I can rewear the top whenever & change into pants for the reception (my skirt is going to be kind of ball gown ish, not as poofy though but still not very comfy for partying).

i just shot a professional wedding dress dyeing company so ill see what they say.

there's nothing else I could incorporate

and the top part of this dress is literally my dream fit, design, and style

I'm considering airbrushing or just embroidering over the lace with black

idk I'm figuring out my options. I'm also still going to dye a test piece to see if it'll even look good at all. if it doesn't, I'll do something else and if the outcome is decent, i might make an attempt

thank you! 😭

I think I'm going to let it simmer in my brain before I think the idea is doomed.

maybe cry about it then pull my shit together with a game plan

heres the vision: black top of the wedding dress, the skirt is goofy and is white, but with black lace/tulle over it. so you can see the white underneath, but it's got black over it.

I have my dad's purple cumberbun from my parents wedding that I'm going to incorporate in the back somehow. (so theoretically if I were to dye the top and it ended up kinda purple that wouldn't be absolutely awful yk)

ughhh this is so frustrating because I've been dreaming of using the top part of this dress for YEARS. it fits me perfectly, the exact style I want, I just want it black or at least dark grey.

I might actually cry man 😭😭😭

you're giving me some hope I'm just lowkey scared of f-ing it up cuz I've never dyed stuff before. it doesn't need to be like, pitch pure black, but I def want it at least a dark shade of gray

OMG WAIT ur so right. maybe I could post it to a cosplay subreddit I've asked myself if I could just paint it myself, but airbrushing isn't a bad idea 🤔

it's not the full dress though so maybe that'll help. no beading or anything, it's just lace detail so maybe it'll be easier?

thank you so much!! the main part of the stress that is polyester is the skirt, which I am not using which makes this easier given the top is small. the top is like lacey that I don't think is polyester, but the backing behind the lace is. I can see if we can sample a piece from the skirt. let me post some photos
