I bought three beautiful tunics with lace insets (same design, 3 different colors), from a big box store, that I just love. I do not want to return them, if I can fix the problem. The blouses were all made from white rayon material, then dyed in deep jewel tones, which is why I do not want to return them if I can fix the problem. I do wash everything new in my regular laundry detergent to remove any sizing, and no longer use dryer sheets. I wore the deep china blue one yesterday, and was shocked when I changed into my nightie last night to find that I now have blue skin everywhere the shirt touched me (my white bra is also now blue). No irritation, just blue skin. I tried baby wipes, a shower with bar soap (and liquid body wash), and I am still a Smurf. I am currently soaking all of them in separate buckets of plain cold water, and am not sure if I should add vinegar, salt, Synthropol, Retayne or just what, to set the colors I figure my skin will fade with a couple more showers. I just know someone here can give me ideas to set the colors.
