What is your chiffon stole made out of? Silk chiffon is not at all difficult to dye, but polyester chiffon is more difficult.

If there is no trim, you can actually color polyester by simmering it in coffee, but if there is any nylon lace or other trim, it will take the color more intensely, turning much browner than the fabric. Of course the color imparted to the polyester by the coffee will wash out, but it may meet your needs anyway.

Do not attempt to dye anything that cannot be washed in water.
