Any suggestions for an old wedding dress?

My mother's wedding dress bodice (65 years old) was made of ivory satin and beautifully embroidered with sequins. Unfortunately the satin has brown patches. I would love to reuse it for my daughter. Do you think I could dye it? How does satin and sequins take dye?

If you are certain you want to try dye your dress, then definitely go to a professional. There are many types of dyes. For example, a protein fiber like silk requires a totally different dye than a cellulosic fiber like cotton.

I would never risk using a multipurpose home dye for your dress. I dye fabrics regularly in my handmade business and don't ever use the multipurpose stuff.
