r/dyeing

I just bought a gorgeous cream-colored vintage dress with a heavily beaded mesh layer over a slip. I originally thought about just dyeing the slip, but unfortunately there’s no way to detach it from the beaded layer.
I’m trying to dye the dress teal, but it doesn’t have a tag, so I’m not sure what the fabric is made of. The fabric is stretchy, so I’m guessing it’s polyester or a polyester blend.
I know polyester usually requires Rit DyeMore, but Amazon didn’t have the teal color I wanted in DyeMore, so I ordered regular Rit All-Purpose Dye instead. Now I’m really worried I’m going to ruin this dress.
Does anyone have experience dyeing a vintage beaded dress or polyester/unknown fabric with regular Rit dye? Is there anything I can do to make sure the color takes evenly and doesn’t turn out splotchy or damage the beads/mesh?
I really need to have it finished today or tomorrow, so I would appreciate any tips or advice before I attempt it! Thank you!!

I knit this top using Knitting for Olive’s pure silk yarn in the color pea shoots. The yarn turned out to be a more earthy green than I was expecting and while I love the color, I’m not sure it suits me. Any advice on dyeing this? My goal would be to make it a softer green or dye it blue.

Hi,

I want to dye my cotton white/light gray duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases to match my walls and dressers or kind of like the brown cotton gauze ikea blanket. Plus a couple jackets and shirt also the same or similar brown.

So, two twin duvet covers, two king size bottom sheets, a slew of pillow cases of various sizes, two cropped jean-ish jackets, and a button up. Everything is 100% cotton. Some flannel, some cotton denim, one muslin/gauze cotton.

I have a top loader washer and a bathtub, access to a big plastic totes if need be.

I'm in Canada so not sure where the best spot to buy as it seems like when I look up fiber reactive dye it's hard to find here, I'm worried about cost and import fees.

Side note: the pictures of the brown walls seem a touch warmer brown in real life rather than the cooler gray-brown the phone photos captured. It's a super gray foggy day out so the lighting is wonky.

Really want to dye this purple. It's 100% polyester. Getting mixed results with Google, saying it can be dyed purple but could also turn brown. Any suggestions on successfully dying this purple? Really don't want to try and have it turn out brown.
