I didn't take pictures of the dye process- but it was backbreaking. I imagine the women who use the washer method have it much easier. I was hunched over my bathtub, moving my slip constantly for 40 minutes in the plastic container I used to put the dye in. I managed to leave my bathroom SPOTLESS of teal dye- but managed to get it on myself. Yes, I was wearing gloves. Apparently resting your upper arms on the plastic tupperware that has dye on it was not a factor that was present in my mind.
Here is the slip after I rinsed it, and about where I started to panic because I was unhappy with the color:


I pouted for a bit and after Dean told me I was silly for being upset and that I should wait for it to be dry. So I did and when I looked this time- SUCCESS! The color is fantastic here.



I might give it another dye bath but I dont think I need to. What do you think?
