If I send you a picture of the type of fabric that is used in the dress will you tell me if you can or can't dye it?

Message: I have a dress that I would like to have dyed and I searched my question no help.... If I send you a picture of the type of fabric that is used in the dress will you tell me if you can or can't dye it.

I'm afraid I am unable to take on your dyeing project for you. You can find a dyer to custom dye your dress, but only if your dress is made from a dyeable fiber or fiber blend.

A picture will not tell us what your dress is made of. You will have to examine the label in the dress to find what its fiber content is. Cotton or cotton/spandex is easy to dye, and polyester is difficult but sometimes possible to dye, but a polyester/spandex blend can never be dyed.

While you are checking the label, look for care instructions. You can't dye the dress if it is not washable. Dyeing always requires a great deal of washing, both before and after the dye is applied.

If your dress is washable, and made of a dyeable fiber, then you can find a custom dyer on the following page: "Where can I find someone to dye my clothing for me?".

You may be surprised to find how much it costs to have a dress dyed for you. If it turns out to be impractical, you may be able to dye it yourself, if the dress is washable and made of cotton. If so, here is the page you should look at the page, "How can I dye clothing or fabric in the washing machine?" .
