Gradient Tights DIY.

Brilliant! TheCoveted posts her own DIY trick for two-tone gradient tights. The runway inspiration and her post may be two years old, but I’m still loving her tips and want to give it a try. The tights in this pic are hot, and look amazing with this vintage-inspired dress. I just don’t think mine would come out quite so perfect..

Here’s how to get the gradient look! Here are the materials you’ll need: Box of Rit Dye, salt, detergent, pantyhose (light colored, or flesh color is fine).

1. Mix your dye bath…(you can use your mop bucket in the shower) 2. Rinse & wring your panyhose, the gradient will be easier to create if the material is damp. 3. Dip the dampened pantyhose into the dye bath, don’t submerge them in the dye, but dip half way or or however you would like to have colored. 4. Hang the pantyhose in the shower for an hour or so, maybe two… this will allow gravity to pull the dye to the bottom creating the gradient. 5. Rinse the excess dye, and hang dry.
