A handful of reviewers said the colors came out faded. Others mentioned that they weren't able to get the advertised "30 shirts" capacity. Still, the vast majority of reviewers said this kit was easy to use and gave them vibrant results. They liked that it comes with two packets of dye in each color so they can repeat the project again.

The solution is water-based and non-toxic meaning it's easy to clean and safe for everyone to enjoy. Each pack makes six to 12 gorgeous projects. 

Some reviewers didn't like the spray bottles, saying that they're hard to control or don't spray enough dye to penetrate the fabric.
