Dyeing Net

Dyeing Net and Dagging the edges

With so many colours available in nets nowadays it should not be necessary to dye net -always look to layer colours to achieve the shade you are after or choose a colour available for your project.

The dyeing tends to soften the net and therefore it should not be the first option.

When time is of the essence it is easier to mix layers of different colours that are readily available.

We dye Tutu net to Customers specifications in the Tutu size they want.

Depending on my schedule the cutting, dagging and dyeing of a 10 layer Classical Tutu will take about a week or more. Please email me for up to date information on this.

 

For example —
Adult size 15″ Classical Tutu—10 layers Super stiff Hexagonal Tutu net (Super Stiff net discontinued)——Pale Pink slightly graduated.
The Power net or Cotton Bobinette  panty is dyed at the same time to achieve the closest colour match to the lowest ruffle. This is dyed in half metre pieces.
A poly-cotton colour is readily available to match the pink net if that is a preference.

 The net that can be used is Italian or English and there are different qualities available from 40 – 60 Denier Hexagonal Tutu net to the Tulle (Diamond or Hexagonal) used for Romantics. The Net does tend to soften with Dyeing as you are removing some of the resin used to stiffen the net so it is advised to be done as a last resort.

 

Here is an example of a 10 layer Super stiff hexagonal tutu net dyed a medium Sky-blue with the power net to match on the left.

Demands change as fashion changes and so the colours I hold in stock are continuously changing.

 Colours of Net I have dyed previously are shown in the Dyeing net-colours section here

The Stretch Blue Tutu shown on the left is used with kind permission of Ann who made the beautiful shades of blue by combining different shades of white and blue net which I dyed for her. The pattern used is by Dani Legge of Australia.-(‘Tutus by Dani’) – available in the SHOP section on the Menu.
