I just figured I would wear it with dark colors. But it sounds like more of an issue for you so I would totally talk to the manufacturer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051712 Fri, 09 Aug 2019 07:16:10 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2051712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point Suntiger—I hadn’t thought of that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051571 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 18:08:38 +0000 Anonymous 2051571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to no bleach! It can "burn" fabric and cause a yellow stain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051564 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 18:02:40 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2051564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks K. I’ll work those in too. So many options! I’m feeling more optimistic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051563 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 18:02:08 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2051563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! Oxyclean seems to be the clear favorite here, so I’ll look for that first. I’m reluctant to use bleach because the dress is such nice, soft cotton. If the Oxy doesn’t work I’ll try Joyce’s suggestion of vinegar (white, right?) and a from a dye company. Next step will be the dry cleaner, and after that I’ll give in to bleach. </p> <p>Roxanne, did you talk to the manufacturer of the bag? This one cost as much as all my others together, so I’m not pleased, to put it mildly. I’m wondering if they have corrected the problem and might give me replacement straps. I don’t have the sales receipt, but could get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051562 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 17:59:18 +0000 K. Period. 2051562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How awful! I would actually take it to the dry cleaner like Roxanna suggested. They often have tricks for removing stains that I don't think of.&nbsp; You might also try rubbing alcohol and dry cleaning solvent, if you have either of those around.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051518 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 15:30:43 +0000 Roxanna 2051518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! The same thing happened to me with a Burgundy suede backpack and a cream silk top I took it to the dry cleaners right away and they were able to take it out. But not I just carry the bag with dark colors! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051500 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 14:12:51 +0000 JAileen 2051500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! Yes to oxyclean pretreat. Cute outfit, BTW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051497 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 14:08:41 +0000 Suz 2051497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a shame. Depending on the cleaning requirements of the dress, I'd try oxyclean and then bleach.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051487 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 13:43:17 +0000 Angie 2051487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rotten luck.</p> <p>I would ret oxyclean. Then bleach.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051475 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 12:26:14 +0000 Joyce B 2051475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rit or Carbona may have stain remover products. You need to take care of it soon before it gets more set in, what a bad thing to happen to your beautiful dress. Whatever you do, do not put the dress in the dryer or the stain will be permanent.<br /> Vinegar removes excess dye but I would check in a very small area first to be sure it does not set the stain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051468 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 11:59:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2051468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks TG! I took a few pix planning to post to YLF because I was happy with the outfit, didn't think this was how I'd be posting them. :/</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051460 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 11:43:40 +0000 Helena 2051460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh darn, such a pretty dress too!! Hopefully the pre-treat will help ... I hate to suggest bleach but if you're down to the wire, maybe? Or a good drycleaner? Hope it comes good ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ks-bad-dye-transfer#post-2051439 Thu, 08 Aug 2019 08:49:18 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2051439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I rarely carry this bag, was probably wearing a winter coat the last time I did. But I pulled it out recently on a yummy summer day. Look what it did to my white dress! I’m upset, to say the least. </p> <p>It was purchased last fall. Is there any way I could ask KSpade for help? There is no dye on the back of the dress, only where the straps touch under the arms. </p> <p>Any laundering tips? I pretreated the dress but haven’t washed it yet. </p>
