You could try washing the dress with an old white towel or white sheet/pillowcase to act as a colour "catcher". I did the same with my son's bright Red Arrows t-shirt, and it looked like a Burgundy Arrows t-shirt, but after a few washes it now looks red again- not quite as bright as it was originally but much better.

Colour run removal sachets. Couple of hours soak and it should be sorted.

stick it in the wash with a colour run remover

Colour run stuff saved the day when I turned a complete matching set of lemon baby clothes a very unpleasant green.
I didn't realise an innocent looking pale blue skirt was died with totally non colour fast indigo type jeans dye.
