Message: I'LL TRY TO KEEP MY QUESTION SHORT AND TO THE POINT AS TO NOT WASTE TO MUCH OF YOU TIME.I HAVE A HOODED CAPED GARMENT THAT IS DRY CLEAN ONLY AND I WISH TO DYE IT BLACK MY QUESTION IS CAN THIS BE DONE AND IF SO WHERE MIGHT I LOCATE THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROCESS.I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DRY CLEANING STORES IN MY AREA AND NONE OF THEM DO ANY GARMENT DYEING,SO I'M AFRAID ITS A TASK I MUST TRY TO DO MYSELF. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY ADVISE YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THIS MATTER.

No, I'm sorry, but it is impossible to dye a dry-clean-only garment. You can't do it at home, and no custom dyer will take the risk of dyeing it for you, since chance are good that the garment will be destroyed.

If you wash the garment annd it comes out fine, you can then consider deing it. Your choice of dye will depend entirely on the fiber content of the garment. See "About Dyes" for more information on matching dye type to a fabric's fiber content. Instructions will vary drastically depending on the type of dye required.
