So these are the second pair that I’ve made, and I like these a LOT more. When the bleach was first on them before I threw them into the washer, the splotches were all a gross yellow colour and I was convinced I had ruined a great-fitting pair of jeans. But when they came out, I fell in love!

Jeans: Shank/my extreme dyeing skills
Jacket: Vintage
Vest: AA
Tunic: Forever 21 I think?
Scarf: Old scrap fabric
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Blackspot
I am seriously soooo in love with these pants. The best part? Everyone at my school has realized that I’m an art/fashion nerd and I don’t get nearly as many “wtf-is-that?!?!” glances anymore. Depending on the day, this is either really good or really bad, but today I was glad that everyone that commented on my pants thought they were awesome.
In case you were wondering, all I did was throw ‘em in the tub, get them wet (but don’t fill the tub with water), and then splash bleach over them straight out of the bottle. It works shockingly fast so flip them over quick and do the other side! Then rinse them out and wash them immediately. As long as you get the bleach out before the fabric starts to really weaken, you should be good!

Comment by Natalie March 21, 2009 @ 7:01 pmYES! I was looking how to acid wash jeans and this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. The other sites on the Internet do not have the same results! Thank you so much! I’m going to turn a $22 dollar pair of jeans in to this instead of buying a $60 pair of jeans that have already be done.
