How to dye my dress?

[movingonwardsorsidewards]

I have for a bright pink Fcuk dress that my sister gave me! It's a nice style but I don't think I would wear pink! Is there a easy way to dye it black? And with even colour? :)

If it's cotton Dylon machine dye should work.
I dyed a white table cloth with curry stains deep green. Worked a treat, very even and I can't find the stains.
Dying acrylic is generally not recommended.

I've dyed a few things in my time. Dylon machine is good - much better than the cold dye stuff which tends to be un-deep and un-even.

Cotton dyes well as does nylon. Watch out for polyester stitching (as on jeans) as this won't usually take the dye and you might be left with a black dress with pink stitching!

thank you for the replies,

the dress is - 75% cotton, 25% (viscose/rayon/viscosa) i'm not sure what this means, do you think it is possible to dye this?

Honestly if you like the style I wouldn' t use the Dylon. Most things these days seem to have polyester stitching (not just jeans) and that won't dye as ageingfop says. Maybe just learn to love pink, or sell it on eBay and buy a black dress!!

The dress would certainly dye, with that much cotton content (not sure how well viscose dyes, but suspect it does so reasonably well), but the killer would be the thread. If it's a dark pink and there's no visible top stitching, then I might be inclined to risk it, but if there's any visible stitching at all and it doesn't dye, it will look v odd.
