I wonder if washing with vinegar added to the rinse will help. You look great in that top. I'm glad you can get the dye out of your jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64396 Fri, 08 May 2009 04:28:22 +0000 Angie 64396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh good. I love you in that top too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64349 Fri, 08 May 2009 00:11:49 +0000 LoP 64349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April: Leather really soaks up the dye from the jeans. My dark wash Seven jeans made my yellow leather couch green and I had to buy a special cleaner to get it off. It is getting better now after 10+ washes. </p> <p>Shiny: I wash it with black shirts just for that possibility. It's a funny story about your GAP dress. I can't believe they still couldn't get the color processing right.</p> <p>Angie: Luckily, the dye comes off when I wash the jeans with minor residue on stitches of belt loops. It probably is that particular color causing the issue. I still like this top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64344 Thu, 07 May 2009 23:43:44 +0000 Angie 64344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I’m sorry, LOP. Rotten luck. LOVE the top with the white jeans, though. Does the rubbed off dye come off? </p> <p>Perhaps it was just that dye lot? I have not heard of anyone else with this problem yet. But I shall ask around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64320 Thu, 07 May 2009 21:28:45 +0000 shiny 64320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the dye runs when you wash them - i.e., turns the water whatever shade the top is. Wash one at a time. </p> <p>I have had my red top rub off on one of my white cami's... turning it pink in places. I wore that top several times before it happened. It happened when in Paris, on a day when it was seriously hot and I was sweating a lot. Ruined the cami (I still have it - so I can wear it just with that top!)</p> <p>But it wasn't as bad as a GAP dress I had once... I brought it to Spain to wear as a bathing suit cover-up. I put it on right out of the shower, and within minutes, I ended up with blue dye all over my hands, armpits... every where.... it was quite funny. The dye took two days to wear off my skin!!! Needless to say, that dress ended up in the trash! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64316 Thu, 07 May 2009 21:08:25 +0000 April 64316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOP -- I seem to remember Shiny posting that the colors on a Sweet Pea top of hers ran when she washed it. I haven't had this happen either with any of the three SP tops I have. So sorry! </p> <p>I did get a pair of jeans (that ended up going back) that came with a warning about not sitting on "white leather sofas" while wearing them. You would think the problem of setting dyes might have been solved by this stage in human evolution... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64303 Thu, 07 May 2009 19:55:42 +0000 crwilson 64303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never had that experience either, and I have quite a few different tops. I'm sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64289 Thu, 07 May 2009 18:58:15 +0000 Debbie 64289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow how frustrating LOP!</p> <p>I have several Sweet Pea tops and have not had that happen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweet-pea-top-coloring-problem#post-64288 Thu, 07 May 2009 18:48:58 +0000 LoP 64288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I mentioned this as a comment on Angie's blog, but I haven't heard from anyone else that she had the same problem. </p> <p>Whenever I wear one of my Sweet Pea tops, I have the color all over my white jeans or skirts. So I only wear it with dark jeans even if I like it better paired with lighter colors. Is there a way to stop it from coloring my jeans?</p> <p>This is the top I'm talking about: <a href="http://i581.photobucket.com/albums/ss260/LegacyOfPearl/CIMG0766.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i581.photobucket.com/al.....MG0766.jpg</a></p> <p>Thank you! </p>
