Dyeing Instructions:

Step 1: What you will need...

1: Timeless Trends dyeable corset

2: Large plastic or metal container for dyeing (stainless steal sinks work well)

3: Towels (1-3 for clean up)

4: Measuring cup

5: Table Spoon

6: Salt

7: Dye (for natural fabrics...cotton, silk and wool)

8: Gloves.....unless you want purple fingers

9: Decorations (stenciles, paints, crystals, flowers.... anything your heart desires)

Step 2: Prepping your corset

  • Fill your large container with warm-hot water... (~10quarts.... or two full pasta-pots of water)
  • Unwrap your corset and remove the laces*
  • Soak both halves of your corset in the clean hot water. Remove corset and set aside...don't dry.

Step 3: Choosing your dyes

Now you have to pick your dyes.

You can mix dyes (mix the wonders or liquids together) to get the desired color.....or you can layer the dye (dye the corset one color, then dye it another color afterwards.

To make a color look "vintage", you can use iDye "Ecru" or "Brown" to town down the intensity of a color.

Step 4: Mixing your Dyes

You can follow the "basin" or "sink" dyeing protocols on the Dye package.

Here I will detail the Dylon procedures:

1: Measure out 4 cups of hot water

2: Add your Dye package

3: Add 4 TBSP of salt

4: Mix well

5: Add this mixture to your tub of water....

Step 5: Dyeing the corset

Put on your gloves and add the corset to the dye.

Fully submerge the corset and swish it around in the dye.

After 5 min in the dye, you will see a light color.

After 10 min it will darken...leave in for 45min to 1 hour for full color

Step 6: Ombre dyeing

To get a vintage ombre color. I first dyed the corset in iDye "Ecru", then dyed the corset in Dylon "Intense Violet".

To make the ombre look, I keep the lower half of the corset in the dye longer. This makes the ombre coloring

You really need to keep track of the color progression, and keep hands on the corset to make sure it doesn't completely submerge.

Remember the corset will dye lighter, so dye darker than the final color you want.

Once finished dyeing. Rinse the corset in the shower to remove excess dye, and allow to dry overnight.

Step 7: Two-tone dyeing

Just like with the ombre dyeing, you start the two tone corset bye dyeing just the lower half of the corset.

You don't need to wait for the corset to dry, you can simply add it to the new dye

Step 8: Finishing

Once you have the color you want, rinse the corset in clean water until there is no more dye comes off. Then add a little detergent to the clear water and rinse again..... Then dump out the soapy water and rinse again with clean water.

You can dry your corset by letting it drip dry, or use a hair dryer (preferable).

Tip: When using a hair dryer be careful not to expose the corset to excessive heat.

Step 9: Stencils and Decorations

Another great feature of these corsets is that you can stencil and decorate them!

You can by stencils at the local craft store and used craft paints

Tape the stencil in place.

Use a craft sponge or sponge brush to dab on the paints. Do multiple layers for bolder contrasts.

Tip: Wash off your stencil between uses to avoid smudging!

Crystals: You can add jewels to your corset using heat transfers or hot glue

Tip: After you have decorated, it is best to dry-clean the corset to avoid damaging the designs to affecting the color.

Step 10: Re-dyeing

After drying, if your corset comes out lighter than you wanted or you decide to change the color you can re-dye your corset. Just save the dye or make new dye and keep going until you get what you want.
