Lou, who owns an interiors blog called Love makes a house a home took to Instagram to show off her newly dyed grey dress and said: 'So I wanted to chat about the “Zara dress” I love this dress, it feels nice on, but it’s white with black spots. I don’t really wear much white, and certainly not white dresses.
'Of course the other issue is, everyone owns it too! I decided on grey, it’s a little darker than I expected but I love it. I think I’ll wear this dress a whole lot more more now, and as a darker colour makes me feel better in it too.'
While Claire, a designer and blogger from Nottingham, dyed hers green and showcased it on her Instagram and said: 'I dyed it with Dylon machine dye in Olive. It worked a treat, but the stitching will stay white due to the fabric of the thread. ⠀
