I am showcasing my 2022 Annual Symposium!
The focus was on dyeing wedding dresses. You can link to the symposium here
The goal of this symposium is to educate our guests to the many techniques using dyes to add color to wedding dresses. Ombre and colored bridal gowns are very popular right now with colorful brides who want to make a bold statement.
Helping a bride who has a strong vision for her dress involving color can be a fun experience for a seamstress. But there are some realities about the dyeing process and outcomes that need to be learned.
There is a certain amount of risk involved. Fabrics and laces on a wedding dress are going to take dye differently. The color can turn out different than expected too. Brides need to be educated ahead of time about issues and be aware of the risks before deciding to go ahead with the dyeing process.
Before watching the videos in this symposium it is important for you to understand that the Anderson Alterations Academy, symposium sponsors, and guest panelists are not liable for your own dyeing experiences, damages, or results. Use this information at your own risk.
I would not encourage dyeing expensive wedding dresses. Leave those to the experts. Dyeing wedding dresses can lead to many random or unexpected results. Different materials react to the dyes in different ways. This is part of the adventure, and also the risk of dying. The outcome is never certain. And again, anyone associated with the symposium can not be held liable for guest damages.
Thank you,
