Please help me fix this laundry disaster

Posting in AIBU for traffic. I've erroneously washed a white cotton top with a dark blue skirt & the top has come out baby blue!!!! I really need to wear it for an event on Saturday morning. What can I do?

So far I've re-washed it with a large scoop of varnish which made no difference at all and now I'm cold soaking it with bleach, but what do I do if that doesn't work? Any other tips? It's the whole top that's stained, not just a few areas.

Ace clothes bleach for whites

Once you’ve bleached it try and hang it in direct sunlight. That’s worked miracles for me in the past.

Second the Dylon SOS colour run remover. It's designed for exactly this situation and it works.

No time to wait for Amazon delivery of the dylon sos as I need it ready to wear on Saturday morning but I found colour catch sheets in my supermarket so giving those a whirl - never used them before but fingers crossed 🤞
