dyeing clothes that have been spotted with bleach

Hello: I have a 2-piece rayon/cotton shirt and pant set. I foolishly got a little bleach on the pants. The set is melon and needless to say the pants are ruined.I hate to throw it away. I would like to have the pant set dyed. I don't care what color as long as it is a summer color. Approximately what would be the charge.

This is a very frequently asked question, whose answer is to be found in the FAQ section of my web site.

Briefly, dyeing alone is not the answer, because the spot will continue to be lighter even after additional dye is applied to the garment. Instead, use a fabric marker. See How can I fix the bleach spots on my favorite clothing? for more detailed information.
