I turned this old Shein dress into a new fairy inspired dress :)

The color looks like it did change slightly and it’s a huge improvement, looks more terracotta than orange

While i also liked the before dress a lot i can not believe how rude some people are in the comments. You did a great job at altering the dress how YOU like it and i hope you'll enjoy wearing it!

🤔But the question still remains, how was it supposed to be worn?😆

Those checkered shorts are adorable too!

Since it’s from Shien, you’d have to use the boil method with the synthetic dye (Rit has a good tutorial for this). So you’ll need a really big steel pot (if it’s a pot you eat with, you need to clean it with chlorine bleach or a powder cleanser after dyeing).

The original looked better but I applaud your creativity!

Darling, at your size you can wear anything! Cute dress.

Wow! Great job! The new dress looks awesome, and I actually really like the colour that it currently is!

I like the new dress better! It's cute where the other was plain except for the weird wrap tie. Also I think orange is pretty for spring, summer or fall (unless it's a neon orange), so it's up to you if you want to try dying it again. Some materials are very hard to re-dye from what I hear, which is why I haven't really gotten into trying any dye projects.

I really liked the original dress I personally wouldn’t wear the one you made but if you like it that’s what matters

I love the color as is!!! It's so fitting with the room

You know what would look nice with that dress a somewhat chunky necklace or a fringe necklace that would look really nice awesome outfit tho love it

You need to press your fabric before, during, and after your sewing, otherwise everything you make will look homemade! It's hard to see if this is a nice garment because it was not pressed while being constructed. It is definately not flowy as it is because of that. If you follow this advice, you will find the quality of everything you make will be improved immensely. I cannot stress pressing enough!

[Phoenixwaffles]

you look like a monarch butterfly! it's beautiful!

I like how most people mentioned the elephant in the room. The new dress will go right back to the upcycle pile.

I like the after so much more, it is more whimsical and fun

[dinosluvties]

With the synthetics you need to boil the dye/fabric. The back of the rit dye more bottle should have more info on the specific water ratio/processing time

[amandawraight]

Fabulous! I love giving you things and seeing what you make from them! That colour looks great on you! 🥰

[KelLAkiwi]

Omg I have been looking for a bright orange shirt dress forever! The original piece was exactly what I've been searching for! Sad 😔 But love your creativity!
