Would you be able to dye a white wedding dress to ivory?

I am able to, but I certainly am not willing to do so. For one thing, dyeing polyester a solid color is no fun, and for another, I am not in the business of dyeing. (I'm a scientist.) A third issue is that wedding dresses are often dry-clean-only, but only washable garments may be dyed.

The only company I know that advertises this service for polyester is Color Creek, in Alaska, which will dye polyester garments that are mailed to them. There are many individuals who are happy to dye natural fibers, but it is exceedingly difficult to find anybody willing to dye polyester. See Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes.
