How cool that you and Angie were twins today. Good luck with stain removal. Such a disappointing thing to happen. Had you washed the dress before?

That's such a shame. we have something similar to Oxiclean here in the UK, so I would definitely try that if I were you. I think you look so great in your outfit too. What a great combo. How fab that Angie is sporting the same too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641997 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 11:32:15 +0000 Anonymous 1641997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First, I would cry. &nbsp;Then I would try Oxyclean. &nbsp;Hope it works for you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641995 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 11:29:00 +0000 Mirjana 1641995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic outfit, love it much even I am not keen of unstructured shirt dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641954 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 07:13:01 +0000 rachylou 1641954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd try Carbona color run remover. Carbona makes removers specific to types of stains. Most stain removers are generalists. I've had really really good results with them.

I scrubbed the stain with a nail brush loaded with Sunlight soap, tossed the jeans in with the whites and machine washed.

I really do love your outfit. I'd give Oxy-Clean a try, too. I used to use it on muddy, white pants back when I was the "uniform mom" for the high school marching band.

The short dress looks like the right shape and length for you.<br /> Hopefully you can get the dye out.

I second donutty's suggestion of using Rit Color Remover Powder… or Carbona Color Run Remover. Oxy-Clean might also work. Good luck Tanya.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641825 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 23:56:24 +0000 donutty 1641825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't bleach it!!! Use&nbsp;Rit Dye Powdered Fabric Dye Color Remover (sold on Amazon, Joanns, and Walmart). </p> <p>Good luck! &nbsp;That must have been so disappointing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641780 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:46:12 +0000 Angie 1641780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OH NO. How can that happen to you and not me? I am wearing the <i>same dress</i> with white cropped skinnies and oxfords today and there is no dye transfer on the white jeans at all????</p> <p>Soak in Oxy- Clean. You look Killer Fabulous nonetheless.&nbsp;</p> <p>This is what I wore today. High five!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641771 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:31:41 +0000 Diana 1641771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd try a magic eraser first, then the shout stain remover. There's a version of the shout that comes in a stick form (like a giant glue stick) that is I think more concentrated and you can rub it in and scrub a bit before tossing in the wash. I've managed to get ground in lipstick out of a light colored rug with it. </p> <p>I wouldn't use bleach as it can turn things yellow.</p> <p>Eta: cold water wash and no dryer/heat until you know the stain is gone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641759 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:13:39 +0000 Rambling Ann 1641759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nothing to say about dye transfer but those are some cute booties </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641758 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:13:10 +0000 JAileen 1641758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about using those sheets that go in the washer and absorb dye. I don't know if they would work in this situation. Maybe use as a last resort. I would be leery about using bleach. I would be afraid of yellowing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641756 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:10:00 +0000 Janet 1641756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great springtime outfit! Bummer about the color transfer. I've had that happen, and the color washed out in the regular laundry. Try just washing it as you normally would, maybe with a little stain remover (Shout or something) sprayed on the area with the dye. I hope it comes out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641755 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:08:38 +0000 Mochi 1641755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear about the dye transfer. My wild guess would be to bleach the jeans to get them back to white? What is non-chlorine bleach, though??</p> <p>Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-48-unstructured-shirt-dress-and-a-dye-transfer-disaster#post-1641746 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:04:13 +0000 Tanya 1641746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has been pretty cold this whole week here but today I decided to be brave and wear my favorite cutout booties despite the low temperatures.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have the same BR denim shirt dress as Angie's one featured on today's blog post and I wore it over cropped white LOFT skinnies. I also added a chunky pearl/ribbon BR necklace, JC cutout booties, my trusty silver RM satchel and white MK watch.&nbsp; I wore a navy wool coat over the whole thing outside but did not take a photo of it.&nbsp; My feet got just a tad chilly but I was fine.</p> <p>Unfortunately, when I got home I noticed that a lot of the indigo dye from the shirt dress has transferred onto my brand new white skinnies- I only wore them once before.&nbsp; I am very upset about this and would really appreciate any advice on how to remove the dye from the jeans.&nbsp; The skinnies are 97% cotton, 3% spandex and the tag say to wash cold and use only non-chlorine bleach. </p>
