dye my wedding dress blue


Name: lynne (rebelwoman1957)
Message: i have a white wedding dress that was for a wedding of a friends. we were going to have it dyed to royal blue but cannot find anyone in delaware who dyes. no cleaners or wedding stores.we paid a pretty penny for this dress and while my husband loves this dress i see no occasion for wearing white. could i get help

1, you can't dye it if it isn't washable

2, dyeing polyester is no fun and certainly not a job for the novice (unlike dyeing cotton)

3, even if the fabric is a dyeable nylon or cotton or silk, the thread is almost certainly polyester and will stay a glaring white - which may look pretty silly with royal blue, depending on the dress
