Racegoer who suffered a red wine spill on her white outfit managed to transform her wardrobe

A racegoer who had red wine spilt on herself transformed her outfit by pouring FIVE more glasses of wine on it.

Eleanor Walton managed to avoid disaster during a day out at Ripon Races by turning her white jumpsuit into a tie-dye sensation.

The 19-year-old said a rowdy punter bumped into her and spilt red wine all over her Pretty Little Thing garment.

Gutted that her jumpsuit was ruined, and worried she might have to go home, she grabbed her friend Mia to hatch a plan.

The pair grabbed five glasses of wine from the free bar and headed to the loos.

Eleanor took of the jumpsuit in the toilets and soaked it in the sink for ten minutes.

The bar tender from Leeds then spent 20 minutes drying it off under the hand-dryer.

She emerged from the loos looking like a wine-soaked goddess - and had plenty of compliments from fellow racegoers to boot.

Friend Mia Williamson, 18, also a bartender, said: "Our intuition just kicked in.

"It was a free bar so I said to Eleanor 'let's go and get as much red wine as we can and we'll sort it out in the toilet'.

"We got in there and she stripped off in the cubicle while I found a plug for the sink.

"I just poured all the wine in one go and hoped for the best.

"We pulled it out the sink and it just happened to turn into this magical, glorious pattern.

"She ended up missing the race she put a bet on though.

"Quite a few people were complementing her on the outfit afterwards. It looks like a unique piece."
