Hello! I have never dyed anything ever but I really love this skirt, but it's too red and I am unfortunately not using it as much as I hoped I would. I have read that polyester is horrible to try to dye, especially to black. And since there are two different types och fabric, excluding the threading, it might be even harder.

My questions are therefore:

1. Is it easier dyeing this another colour than black? I could for example think brown would be cool, or adding yellow or something to make it more rusty-yellow?

2. Would i have to test if the fabric can handle the heat so it doesn't ruin the texture? How should I go about this then?

3. If dyeing is off the table, is there another way of altering the colour of this skirt? For example lightening it? And how would i go about that?

I'm thankful for any input I can get, but please be nice as I have zero knowledge on the subject and just want to learn and hopefully be able to use this skirt even more. Worst case I'll just have to learn to dress the red colour :)
