Sob! Wasn't concentrating and put my daughter's beautiful blue silk monsoon dress in vanish!

[carries]

Went to hand wash it and try and get raspberry juice stains out, wasn't thinking and put oxi-vanish powder in water instead of persil non-bio and the silk part has gone from a beautiful blue to a very dirty grey blue. It looks terrible. Is there any hope?!?

Very upset cos she loves the dress, I love the dress and it was a bargain. Was £60 and I bought it for £18.

Sympathy or suggestions welcome!

Oh noooooooooo- sympathy from me anyway! No suggestions as I know nowt about dealing with fabrics - would it dye at all? (That's probably a daft suggestion but it's the only one that comes to mind, sorry)

Dying it was the only thing that sprung to mind! Sympathy appreciated!

Having googled a wee bit it looks like silk can be dyed

Good luck!

I did something similar with a silk flowery blouse. It was gorgeous. I was sad. I feeeeel your pain.

Thanks Nyx and MMOC

Sorry, no ideas, but big wave of sympathy..

Thanks Barbarapym

Dying seems possible! Watch this space!

the silk will dye, esp if you go for a blue again, but if it's not all silk the different fabrics may go different shades...
