Unique custom tulle overskirt made to fit over YOUR wedding dress dip-dyed in colours you choose.
Want a dip-dye wedding dress but not brave enough to have your actual dress coloured? This is the perfect solution!
Send me your waist measurement, your skirt length (front, side and train) and I will make the tulle overskirt to fit. The prices includes up to 5 graduated colours applied on the skirt to mid-height. Special requests and custom makes welcomed, let me conjure up your perfect dress!
Tulle colours available: (with any colour dip-dye applied)
White, pale ivory, ivory, blush pink (stocked)
+40 other colours by special order (extra charge may apply approx +£35), tell me what colour you would like!
Colour matching available. Glitter tulles available (+ £150-£350)
Please note pale colours work best, colour does not apply well to a darker tulle.
All tulle over skirts are two layers of fine poly tulle (choose from options or colour matching available) and are UNLINED to wear over your wedding dress. If you would like a lined skirt to wear with a top this will cost £200-£250 extra. The skirts take their shape from the width of the skirt you wear beneath, falling in soft folds all round.
The colour shows up strongly where many layers of coloured tulle hang over the top of each other. All skirts are full circle to ensure the colours are vibrant, longer trains are cut as more than a full circle so the layers don't spread too 'thin' over the train, hence the higher cost.
I will send you a sample of your chosen colours to approve before spraying the skirt I have made up for you. Over 30 colours available, let me know your perfect combination! The colouring method is safe to wear over other fabrics, it will not mark your wedding dress. Samples are free if you purchase this listing, or for a small nominal charge pre-purchase which can then be discounted from your skirt cost when you go ahead.

Please note that though I put a 5 day dispatch time on this listing this is very much a 'minimum possible', and then only if I have all the colours you need in stock. It will usually be more like 3 weeks. Unless you really do need it that fast, in which case I will move heaven and earth to make that happen! Normally I will fit your order into my making schedule ASAP and keep you informed of progress all the time. If you have a very tight time-frame please message me before purchase so I can confirm a prompt dispatch is possible.
