Dying your petticoat?

My sister gave me a great idea...... taht i should consider dying my petticoat one of my wedding colors. It would look cool when I dance and also will be a bit of a surprise during the whole garter toss thing.

Has anyone actually done this? If so, how do you do it so that it won't be so dark that it will show through ? (My dress has a lining & an organza overlay) Where did you get the dye? Also, how did you ensure that it didn't "run" onto your gown? My wedding colors are watermelon & silver....... so I think it would look nice with the watermelon color.

There is always going to be a risk that the petticoat will bleed onto your white gown. If it were me, it wouldn't be worth the risk of ending up with watermelon streaks on my dress.

Here's my suggestion - have a seamstress hem the petticoat in ribbons in your wedding colors, or add a layer of colored tulle (you can get this at almost any fabric store) to the petticoat. Since these have been dyed and set professionally, you shouldn't have any problems with the color bleeding.

Designer Wedding Petticoats

A wedding petticoat may not be one of the top items on your wedding lingerie wish list, but, a bridal underskirt works as hard as any other item of clothing that you will wear on your wedding day.

For larger breasted brides, who would prefer to attract less attention to their ample assets, a wedding petticoat can help to draw attention away from the bust by making the waist seem much smaller. This can be a boon to a bride who can feel self conscious about her bust size.

Should the material of a bride’s gown be easily crushed and creased, a wedding petticoat can help to prevent a wedding gown looking anything less than perfect.

A wedding petticoat can prevent static cling from causing a wedding gowns fabric from twining around a brides legs and stop the guests from realising that our , normally shy and retiring, bride is wearing  a garter, thong, suspenders and stockings. This may be one wardrobe malfunction that the bride would not bat an eyelid at in the company of her peers, but, would find extremely embarrassing in front of great Uncle John, the vicar, her father, and her new in-laws (and so the list goes on). Wearing a wedding petticoat would prevent anyone knowing what wedding lingerie the bride was wearing.

Sophie and Grace’s wedding petticoats have been created by Jupon, who have been designing and manufacturing bridal petticoats for almost three decades and offer wedding petticoats, in their range, to suit nearly every design of wedding gown available.

Possibly, the greatest function a wedding petticoat can perform for a bride on her wedding day, other than saving her blushes from the vicar and co., is to enable her wedding gown to look at its most beautiful best and as a direct result make the bride  appear more stunningly beautiful than she has ever done before.

Who would have believed that the humble wedding petticoat could do so much?
