temporary dyes?
Apr. 10th, 2003 12:57 amHi! I usually just watch you fabulous people, but I have a question (and I checked the memories first, so no worries. ;) )
Is there a way to temporarily dye a white tuxedo shirt? Temporarily being the key word here. The shirt needs to be white again afterwards. It needs to be pink for about a month.
If there is a way:
a) what is it?
b) afterwards, how do you remove the dye (washing/bleaching?)
c) will sweat cause it to run?
d) if the person was wearing, for example, the (dyed) tuxedo shirt underneath a dinner jacket that had a light-colored lining, would it harm/dye the lining? (and if it did, could it be dry-cleaned out? :/)
I'm teching for a production of Forever Plaid, and we have a very tight costuming budget, so the actors are using their own tux shirts. Best case scenerio would be pink tux shirts, but I'm not sure if that can be pulled off. Thanks for any help. :)
