I've had this shirt hanging around in my fabric box for quite some time. It is really soft and in great condition but I knew the girls would never go for something in this colour.
So I had a go with a bucket of bleach to see what would happen. The greenish colour turned a surprising salmon-orange.
Truth be told, I don't like the new colour and I fear I have ruined the fabric by bleaching. I am going to try some dye and see what happens but I fear I have made a boo-boo with this one. It will be nice as a lining, especially for waistbands and things that sit against the skin. If I can, by some miracle, get it to a lovely deep red, it is going to be a dress.
Here is the fabric in its entirety, the pocket is the original colour and I have laid it over the top for the photo.
