I have an older white formal gown that is yellowing and would like it a pale blue like Cinderella, would this dye work? I think it is synthetic mix...

This product will make your dress aquamarine, the same shade as the label. See if you can find the light blue shade you want and then try dying the dress.

Bluing doesn't really work in that manner. When you add the hue of blue to "dingy" or grayed white clothes, the hue makes them dramatically whiter. It's a coloring thing. Depending on what made the stains, you might want to try soaking them in a heavy mix of oxyclean or use a spot treatment. The oxyclean seems to work the best for us when we have a stain. Sometimes even just making a small paste of it. The bluing, if not diluted properly (EXTREMELY CONCENTRATED!) could actually make the blue more intense because it is in fact blue.

I just cut one in two to help determine the dye content. The ENTIRE pill was white in appearance. If it has any blue dyes in it, they are not apparent. I also looked at the bottle, and it does not state any artificial colorings.Janet

you will need interfacing to stiff the fabric and make sure it does not fray like satin does at times. It made a nice dress but it did come with a stain but it was at the place where it was not going to matter. I would check it before using it.

If you dye your hair with box dye I don't think it will lift your hair to a level high enough to use wella charm t18.. Your hair has to be a very very pale yellow for it to do anything.. If u use t18 on pale hair it tires it white if you leave it on to long it will turn your hair lilac lavender color..

It doesn't work as bleach really. The "bluing" effect neutralizes the yellow of white fabric that has been washed and bleached with chlorine over time.

Yes, it will dye the embroidery I don't know what kind of thread they have used for your dress but dying over can be tricky (if the embroidery is a polyester thread it will change the color but fad out possibly leaving you with colors you don't like). Most of the time you need to discharge the color and then dye over that.

Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product! What color is your natural hair or the area of hair which your attempting to color? It will make a difference in your results. I would suggest if you attempting to add a lighter-lilac/lavender color, test a mixture of clear Elumen and a drop( a dime size) of VV@all on a color pallet. I would also add taking the color you have created and test it on a white surface(suggested paper to see if it is the desired color you want). I hope this information will help in finding the solution to adding the light lilac/lavender color you want. :) Good Luck! Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product!

I think that it's kind of like a light blue, like the color of Cinderella's dress, I think. It's like the color of this blue dress. I don't know how helpful I've been, but I tried. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct;=j&q;=&esrc=s&source;=images&cd;=&docid;=uFTxp3ECUeZoFM&tbnid;=IuJ6nF48FawS7M:&ved;=0CAcQjRw&u;rl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nenofashion.com%2Fcinderella-blue-prom-dress-for-evening-party.html&ei;=Kg4vVJWyOY-hyATivoKgAg&bvm;=bv.76802529,d.aWw&psig;=AFQjCNE5H781YOm9XAH3YoPaaEhxGfAdYw&ust;=1412456334911969

Yes, I think both ivory and multiple shades of green would work quite well. So would light to medium blues.

Hey Blondie _ been there, done that!!! I know the balancing act. I Live it. Yes, this is the color you want, follow instructions and no brassy at all. Yay but, I fell asleep with it on for three hours, playboy white is what I got, not my favorite "Land O' Lakes" I have to fix it (been super busy) I will put a color on after doing roots to fix. Ok so your question- keep it about 1 hour with a shower cap (throw away process) yes it will be purple, and you will not have white hair it will be sexy blonde. From one to another xo

Alice- Mrs Stewart's Bluing is terrific for restoring WHITES to a sparkling freshness. It does not work for other colors. However, if you look at the website, Mrs Stewart's has many other uses around the home and garden http://mrsstewart.com/ I like the product, and it is certainly worth the small cost. Good luck!

In my experience this color, White Minx, works with hair that is blonde or light grey in color.... However, this is 'temporary' & for the price 'try' it for it always washes out with the first wash..... The color 'Bashful Blonde' is another color I use on an ongoing basis for my roots to enable me to go longer between touch ups, covers grey, etc. Great product. Hope of help...

Th,e only way to dye it that I know of , is by using sharpies... Regular dye wont take on Synthetic fibers. You can use low heat.. Just be careful not to keep it on one section ,too long, or it can burn it!

I only have these in colors. I've never tie dyed but I've heard that cotton is the best fabric for this. These cases feel very soft after laundering so I assume they have a lot of polyester in them. I looked on the cases but could not find a tag that gave the breakdown of cotton/poly. If you have experience with dying synthetic fabrics you can certainly try it on these.

it should only take the yellow tones out of your hair. There are many blue shampoos on the market that do the same thing that do not turn your hair blue. I have used the pearl and had great results

You can buy their clear color which is good for turning the colors lighter but you can always just mix the dye with some regular white-colored conditioner
