having a single polyester garment dyed, in the Phoenix area


Name: Susan Musick
Message: I am interested in having a single polyester garment dyed, in the Phoenix area.

It is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to find anyone willing to dye a polyester dress for you, because polyester is no fun to immersion dye. See Dyeing Polyester with Disperse Dyes. At this writing, the only company I know of which may be willing to dye polyester is Color Creek , in Alaska.

If you want to have a dress custom-dyed, be sure to choose a natural fiber fabric, which is much easier and more pleasant to dye. However, you must be sure to choose only washable garments or fabric, as dry-clean-only items cannot be custom dyed.

Alternatively, select a fabric in the color you like, and hire a local seamstress to sew the dress for you.
