Hello! I have heard that this forum is great for info regarding costume-making, ect. I have a question regarding how to paint/dye a cotton/poly blend suit (jacket and pants). I know that polyester does not take regular dye (unless your boil it). I do not have a big enough pot to accomadate the suit to use disperser dye. I have heard that you can dip dye using thinned out fabric paint and then heat set it. So my question is:

What supplies to use? Should I dye the cotton part first or just use fabric paint?

What kind of fabric paint? And how to prepare it?

The best process for getting even overall color on the entire suit?

If this topic has already been discussed can someone link me to it? Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to your responses and wisdom!
