Can I dye a cream and navy striped viscose dress black?

[Rr8810]

I have a cream and navy striped dress I want to dye black, can anybody recommend how to do so successfully! I have posted the exact fabric below. Also if done properly with the stripes still show after being dyed etc?

13% Nylon (polyamide), 87% Viscose

I think it would come out uneven.

I don’t think nylon would pick up the dye very well

You can only dye natural fabrics sadly.

The nylon won’t dye but viscose should so, unless the nylon element is a separate trim, it should dye but the overall effect won’t be as strong if that makes sense. However I find stripes never take the dye evenly, especially when there’s such a contrast in colour. You’d have to do it several times which would mean using several packs of dye and even then, the stripes might still show. Probably not worth it.

I doubt it will dye evenly, you need cotton natural fabrics to get the best even dye results, and I think the stripes will still show, sorry!

If you dyed the garment with a lighter blue dye then the navy wouldn’t change but you might get a light blue stripe instead of cream (unless there was a lot of yellow in the cream in which case it might react to blue dye by turning green ….There’s always an element of risk involved!)

No and it'll ruin the dress - sell it instead and get one you like?

I have never dyed anything personally but whenever I have seen someone else do it (on YouTube) it never turns out well regardless of the fabric type.
