Message: I have a pink polyester dress that I would like to dye red. May I have a list of people who can dye my dress that live in San Diego California Area. This would really help me out thank you.

I'm sorry, but the only listing of dyers I have is the Custom Dyers' Listing you already saw on my web site. I don't have any other lists or anything specific to different areas.

However, I can tell you that there are almost no companies, anywhere, that are willing to dye polyester. It requires a special type of dye, called disperse dye. Dyeing cotton, wool, silk, or even nylon is easy, but dyeing polyester is not. The only company I know of that specifies a willingness to dye 100% polyester dresses is in Alaska, a company called Color Creek. You could send your dress to them.

[Update November 2007: Color Creek has apparently gone out of business. Now there is no establishment I know of that will overdye 100% polyester garments.]
