Beetroot isn't a true dye but rather a stain. It would fade even if you used a mordant. Loved the final result!

Great color from turmeric. Wonder if you would get a nice hue from using Lavender stalks?

Wait.. that’s so crazy because I had that exact dress I got online and the sizing was off and that second button broke so I donated it…. Shook

I once met someone that dyes fabrics for a living and the only thing I remember is never dye with beetroot as it goes grey!

The color turned out lovely! If you want a more pinkish color, I've heard avocado skins and pits will dye things pink/magenta. I haven't tried it myself but it would be a cool experiment!

Boiling the beetroots for long won't really help if u only have the tops cut ...the pigment betanin in beetroots are present inside the beetroot cells ..the pigment only comes out when the membrane is damaged so chopping them into smaller pieces would help.. Either way beetroot isn't really a dye and more of a stain so it would fade with time either way

Turmeric infuses sunshine and vibrancy on everything it touches. This dress looks fabulous on you, Immy. I’m enjoying your trial, error & success journey with these DIY natural dying projects. Thanks for sharing, Ⓜ️ary💛🌼☀️

I love the final color!

Um heyy so since tumeric is a natural indicator there are chances that the stains from acidic and basic substances will have different colours on the dress.. i think there's something that people who use natural and vegetable dyes do to stop that from happening but I'm not sure what exactly it is. But can you make a video on it if those stains do show up in different colours??😂

that turmeric yellow is lovely

If you can find marigolds, they'll give you a gorgeous orange or yellow color 😊

You should try avocado seeds, I freeze mine till I have enough (takes me forever as I don't eat many lol) and they make a really nice pink color

turmeric makes such a beautiful colour! you just need to be careful because the colour reacts to ph levels. so if your sweat is a different ph than the products you use to clean the dress the sweat stains might dry red or orange instead of drying back to the colour of the dress

Unfortunately, the turmeric is gonna fade completely after 2-3 washes. I used it myself to dye some of my clothes and, not only did it not last, but it also stained some of my other clothes

pomegranate peels are actually a good use for a dye, but for yellowish shades. moreover tamarind seeds and rusted iron together creates black colour

I love the turmeric shade. Great choice to try again! You are very creative Immy

Love the yellow. Like a smile you can wear

That yellow is so mellow, it looks so soft und sweet!

Love the turmeric color so much!

Your voice is sooo comforting omg

This turned out so cute! The color suits you 😍

Marigolds are a good way. You get a bright yellow, but the turmeric is beautiful!

When you boiled the beetroot you lose the color and destroy it in the water- I recommend ( as a cook) to cut the ends off, place them in a hotel pan and cover in kitchen grade plastic wrap 4 times and foil once . The plastic wrap is to seal in the moisture and the foil is the finisher. When it’s been in the oven at 400 for about 45 mins - you can remove them and let them cool and peel the beets. After I recommend adding a little water and blending them in a vita-mix on high and then pour that mixture thru a very fine sieve and you should get a texture less red liquid that you can then soak your dress in- please let me know if this helps and if anyone tried it ❤

Wow such a true yellow and it looks really pretty on you. I can’t wear anything yellow or light/bright green because I’ll look sicker than what I already normally look…

It turned out cute!

wow that looks amazing

What a cool idea, and the dress turned out so nice

I would use a bigger pot, it will make moving the garment around easier for less patchy results

The yellow is pretty

wow that yellow is stunning

I loved the first color!

you should've add vinegar to beetroots so the pigment doesn't discolor, but i don't think betroot is that good for dying because the pigment wouldn't stick that well. source: here where i live beetroots are very popular. like borscht and what not.

Have you tried purple cabbage? The color is very pretty

You’re voice is so calming! It’s beautiful ❤️

I have that same dress and the buttons popped out at the same place!

Yellow is my favorite color💛✨

Love the turmeric collor👍🏼, better than red.

beautiful sunny yellow!! 😊

Hey Immy! I also tried dyeing with beetroot, but ist turned out not nice as well (and i did use mordant) No w i read that i beetroot just isnt a nice dye... I can recommend red onion peels! Such a great green 🥰

It's beautiful 😍 if you haven't used avocado skins and pits you need to try it! I've dyed lots with them!

How do you fix the colour to the fabric so it’s safe to wash it with other clothes? Loved the final colour

Wow beautiful shade of yellow suits you lmmy 😊❤❤❤❤

He's making me want to go thrifting and invest in white clothes and see what colors I can dye them.

Nice yellow!

I love it

I love the final color ❤❤

use more water and a bigger container to get even dyeing, i always always get a crappy dye when i cut that corner

I do hear that tumeric dyed garments can have a reaction to sweat and will change colour where they touch it, it'll turn more reddish brown. Just a warning if you wear anything tumeric dyed on a hot day

Try adding salt, like a lot of it, to the pigment. Sometimes vinegar will help but look online for things that help natural dies. Stay color fast. You’d also probably get more color out of the beetroot by actually shredding it boiling the shreds and then filtering out the shreds with the cheese cloth, and then that water will be extremely pigmented. The boiled beetroot shreds are good for birds pigs goats, even just being compost in a garden, or even just thrown directly into a garden and you know letting it rot into the soil and feeding it that way.

be careful. turmeric fades if left out in the sun. so maybe keep it as a night dress

You can try Block printing with beetroot...

Mordant is going to really get that color to adhere

Onion skins work very well as dye too!

it looks nice😊

You could probably use onion skins (we always use them to dye eggs for eastet)

fresh turmeric is a lifestyle. You either wear saffron robes and have smokers' fingers (ask older people) or you renounce it

Cut the beets into smaller pieces and add like 3 times as much as you did and boil with cup of vinigar for 2liters of water. Colour would come out much better

beautiful yellow! ...does it smell like turmeric?

The color of beetroot was destroyed by high temperature, to prevent it you need to add some acid. But better for use is the juice acid combo.

If you really want a beet root color, juice it and use the juice raw. It'll be vibrate. Tho its a stain and not a real due so itll come out eventually. Till then, you'll have a bright red violet.

Any plant need to extract the pigment first. I usualy do it with creme de tarte and bicarbonate de soude reaction in hot water. (I don't know ingredient in emglish) you filter it and dry out the pigment. And for a full dress you probably need more than 3 beetroot if you want something vibrant.

your skin will be so happy 😊

The final result is super cute

Put some salt in the water as well next time. Then rinse with vinegar. It will make the color pop more and last longer.

Tumeric turns out great! But sadly it fades in the sun rather quickly.. But I like it for coloring boiled eggs 🐣

Would you have been able to get more colour from the beetroot’s if you’d also sliced them more?

It's a common misconseption that tumeric and beetroot are good as fiber dyes. Actually they don't really last. If you are interested, try onion skin, walnut leafes, black tea, and many other plants which actually give you vibrant colors

Turmeric for the win!!😊

Does it stay that color after you wash it a few times?

Try red cabbage beautiful blue color comes out

A saw a Chinese video oh how to dye fabric using beetroot..they did not boil it but instead they smashed the beetroot and extract the juice and mixed it with a little bit of water and soak it with 24 hrs, then let it dry under the sun..and soak it again in 24 hrs and let dry again. The repeat the process for 3 times.

Avocado skin is a good dye color

did a project at fashion uni about natural dyes. and everybody was disappointed beetroot didn't work so well. preparing the fabric, which should be a fully natural fiber at best is key. red khale worked well for redosh and blue tones. turmeric is great too as you could see in this video. certain teas are ok too, berries were by far some of the best results, next to onions kin and henna, though it can be very expensive to use berries since you need loads of them (frozen ones are a cheaper solution). in the end most of the dyes did not last that long when confronted with washing and sunlight. I would rather recommend to look up other sustainable solutions if you are looking for longlasting results. it in the end the process itself is a lot of fun too and definetly worth the experience.

What if you roasted your beets first, so that the color was a deeper red or purple?

So gorge

I would guess that fresh beetroot juice would give a better vibrant color. it would probably fade easy though..

Do you have poke weed where you live? The berries make a really great fuchsia to magenta color.

Would the yellow from the turmeric turn orange in soap?

I actually like that tumeric color a lot.

Turmeric. Happening now, thanks!

did you try beetroot juice?

turmic is defitnitly the winner

I loved

anyone have good advise for dyeing too cold whites to turn it a more milky colour? i’ve tried tea but somehow it left weird looking creases and splotches on the garment

I literally thrifted the same dress and I accidentally bleached it and I want that sandy beige color back . What do I do ?

Adding vinegar to the beetroot makes color more pink, but I don't know if it will fix it.

I hate yellow. But that is one of the most beautiful shades of yellow i have ever seen. Tumeric is awesome

Since people are leaving suggestions lol What about mangosteen skin? It's always staining my hands for a while, not as long as turmeric, but longer than Beetroot, I wonder if it will work.

Turmeric aint playing, that shit will dye anything.

Try black beans!!!

isn't turmeric an indicator?

Turmeric works.. it works on cloth it works on skin it even works on teeth and hair

Dehydrated beets and ground may work better

would Dwight aprove this

Turmeric wins the day! 😊

But wouldn’t the turmeric act as an indicator for the ph level. So turn a different color when washing it with some sort of soap? 🙃

Use a bigger bowl 😊

I’ve finally made it onto crunchy KZfaq

Oh no. Not turmeric. It will react to sweat.

its not gonna last its not a dye its a stain. kinda like grass and tomato stain your clothes
