Well the blue all around tinge of it was getting kinda dull for me so i decided to change it up a bit and i did that by bleaching it. So imma tell you guys how i did just that.
So first, i tied the sleeves up so it won't get in the way. You can leave the sleeves hanging so it will have the gradient effect too. It's all up to you.
Then, move to your bathroom or somewhere that you don't care janking up. I suggest somewhere well ventilated so the fumes of the bleach stench won't get to you and a place where the floors won't be stained or such.
Well anyway, what i did with mine was dip the shirt up to that 3rd button from the bottom. The mixture is just 1 part of water to 3 parts of regular old bleach. I didn't go all out bleach cause i didn't want the entire thing to be white i just wanted it to change color.
I soaked the thing for 30 mins. Once you get your desired treatment or color, wash the whole thing in running water until the water comes out clear, no tinge of yellow whatsoever, and no bubbles appear. then throw it in the washer and dry it off. Be sure to wash it by itself, so you'll have zero chance of janking up your other clothes in case there's some bleach left in it but if you want to jank up your other clothes be my guest. LOL!
The effect will really much depend on the quality of the shirt and the type of denim. My denim shirt is the raw kind of denim (i think). so it didn't really change much it just turned gray, which was the look that i was going for. So WOOHOO!!
So there you go guys, well i treat this bleaching project as "Not Finished" cause i'm planning to bleach half of the bleached part again so it will have a 3 toned gradient effect as supposed to a 2 toned one. So yeah. I'll post some looks of this bleached shirt soon and some different ways to style and wear it. So hope you try this project too and tell me how it'll all go. Thanks guys!
