Renren said... Gorgeous! I would buy this in a flash as RTW. Have you heard of fixing or setting the dye by laundering with salt? I have read about it but not really sure if it works. (By the way, I covet your wardrobe.) 4/2/12 11:30 AM
Sharonspils said... Great top, and I was just about the mention salt but can see Renren has beaten me to it. 4/3/12 2:12 AM
treefrog said... Thanks for the tip. I have the shirt soaking in salty water at the moment. Fingers crossed :-) 4/3/12 3:22 AM
Margaret said... Great looking top! Sorry to hear about the dye -- some of those reds aren't fast. Hope the salt helps. 4/3/12 6:39 AM
mmcp said... Another red dye tip--vinegar. Lots of it. You can add it in with the salt, ( although I do recommend holding the olive oil). I do know it sounds ridiculous but vinegar will work if an acid mordant was used.
