Painted dress with special textile colors. Ten meter long dress that I painted in almost a week :D and loved it.
At the begging there where a few flowers but my client wanted more and more and at the end it looks a bit full of flowers but everyone was happy about the result.
This is the final result with the girl at the wedding.
The color I used are Jacquard Products Neopaque Acrylic Paint, and on Amazon the price is $7.87 per one little bottle of 2.25-Ounce. When they become solid they are a bit hard, so this one suits better on hard materials and jeans, also t-shirts or jeans jackets. If you want to paint on silk or summer textile I do not recommend this colors.
I began with a piece of the material, painting on it then iron it ( so that the color can fix better on the textile) Then washed it by hand and the washing machine. I needed to be sure that color would not drop off the textile.
Everything turn out to be good about the colors and I continued.
I began making swirls on the material with white soap ( it leaves trace and it goes off in no time :) ), to know where to put my flowers on. Made the composition and then started painting with a base white color because on the black textile it was a little hard for the color to pop up cause the pigment wasn`t that powerful. If the dress was white It would not need the base.
The first layer of white with a bit of pink cause I could not helped it :D
Here is the first dress fitting when we saw where the flowers were missing. Better view when the dress is on the girl cause thanks to her body I saw where the material curls and what it needed to be finished.
This is the "add flowers more and more" step :)

Again, the final dress.
And a view form the back.
You can paint almost on any textile :D So if you have a t-shirt with a stain on it, better transform that stain into a flower or anything else :D. Or maybe a pair of old jeans, put your hand into the colors and put your hands on the bottoms. Let you mind find the perfect design for your old or stained clothes, give them some personality.
Hope this inspires you, HUGS!!!
