First, TzviaAriella, for three days I thought you meant coffee dye and then realized no, you did not. XD I did end up settling on a different combo of dyes just because my dye tests with the safari grey were picking up a lot of purple tones, unless you mean that there's a safari grey in the acid dyes? It was a lovely color but not the one you had. I was testing with Dharma Fiber Reactive Safari Grey dye and silk crepe de chine. I did a dumb and ordered the non-stonewashed, but by the time I'm done with them they'll look about the same.
I can understand the confusion! But yeah, I just meant plain old coffee, not coffee-colored dye. I used the Safari Gray fiber reactive dye and didn't have any purple tones (some green, but the coffee staining neutralized that), so I don't know whether it was a difference in the batch or what.
In other news, I took my (not quite completed, but shhh) Rey cosplay to No Brand Con and won Best Performance in the cosplay contest! The cosplay judges were really, really familiar with the details of Rey's costume, and I had a blast chatting with them about how I dyed my fabric and made my boots. If anyone's interested, my performance is up on YouTube here -- it's a Rey-themed parody of "All About That Bass."
