Dye?

[ex-hey-monta745.livejournal.com]

Okay, general question here, some what crafty... I just need help! :(

My mother accidently bleached my favorite pair of pink Dickies pants and I'd to dye them back but I've never used any kind of fabric dye before.

Can anyone recommend a brand (Rit etc.) and give some tips and tricks for coloring my pants?

Should I go black or pink? I'm afraid the black will look faded.

The pants are 60% cotton and 40% polyester.
