I saw these lace leggings on Etsy and fell in love with them. Had to have some for Allie. And I knew I could make them easy enough, and cheap, too. But I was thwarted because I could not find any stretchy lace material. Where oh where do you get it?? But I didn't give up. I kept my eyes peeled.
Then when I was walking through Burlington to get the high chair, I browsed through the clearance section of the Ladies department and found this (ugly) stretchy lace shirt that was
perfect. Almost. Because it's "dusty rose" in color, which is not pink, white, or brown. It's somewhere in between all of those. Kind of like a barely pink mud color. So the adorable lace cuff on the bottom in any of those colors didn't match, and of course nobody has "dusty rose" lace. So they're cute, and I love them and can't quit looking at them, but my quest is not over.
So what do you think, you people that know more that I do? Do you think it could be dyed pink or maybe brown or black, or bleached white? I tried bleaching, but I think I diluted it too much because I was afraid they would disintegrate, and it had pretty much no effect.
Slightly less pinkish-mud color. I have no experience dying anything, except my hair once at college. I tried to get it blonder and after that everyone asked why I dyed my hair brown. Is that the way it goes with fabric? What do you think?
