I just had a shell made. The skirt is teal and flamingo pink. I want to dye the white superstretch bodice and the hard bows to match, but I have never done this before. What is the best dye to use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA

Buy craft paint at either wal-mart or hobby lobby. Teal is a hard color to dye, but mix your paints to get the best color. I do this before I ever put in the water. I use a small stainless steel bowl. For 2 gallons of water I usually use around 4 to 5 bottles, depending on the depth of color I need. ( I use a hand held mixer to get a good mix so there are no lumps). Dip dry stretch in the dye water. Squeeze out as well as you can. I use one roll of Viva Job squad unrolled. Works great for the adsorption of excess paint. Put in clothes dryer and if not dark enough keep dipping till you get the color you want.
