Overdyed trousers

Same pose, but on two different camera settings - both of which make the colors look more blah than they are in person. I still can't find a camera setting that makes me happy.

In person, these trousers look more blue-grey than grey. I overdyed them a year or so ago. I mention it only because Kasmira's Recession Challenge for this month is overdyeing. But I do have other items that I have overdyed during this actual month that hopefully I'll get around to sharing very soon. When I bought the trousers, they were a a khaki "stone" color that always made me feel rather dreary. I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough for me, and they had a fat cuff that could be used to lengthen the hem (with enough fabric left for them to still have a small cuff!), so I decided that I could work with the color. That sentiment lasted through three wearings, at most. I think I just used Rit, perhaps the "evening blue" or "denim blue" color. They are a poly-cotton blend, so they didn't absorb as much dye as I was hoping they would. But it was certainly an improvement. Unfortunately, I don't have a "pre" photograph.
