Who hasn’t splashed bleach on their clothes before?
I usually wear an apron when using bleach because I’m really good at splashing myself with it. Nine times out of ten I will get it on something I’m not supposed to.
So I just happened to be wearing this top when I was using bleach and got some on the sleeve of my shirt. I was mad at first and then noticed the dark gray shirt turned this pretty purple color from the bleach. I thought maybe I could dip dye it and give it that faded color look…
All I did was fill my kitchen sink with hot water and a cup of bleach. Dipped my top into it a few times until I was happy with the look. Rinsed it out with cold water and let it hang to dry. The next morning I washed and dried it.
That’s it!
I did try a few other shirts using this same technique but not all of them changed color. If you have any questions about this post let me know and I will try to help.
I’ve been seeing loads of dip dyed shirts around lately, but I would have never thought to use bleach for a reverse effect. The purple and gray look so rich together. Great way to save that shirt.
