Dyeing silk dress?

[honu]

I would like to dye a fancy silk dress black, has anyone done this before? I actually don't want to do it myself, is there a place that is recommended?

TIA~~~

I would call some local tailors to see where in your area they recommend.

I agree--as your tailor or your cleaners even. They might know. You could always do it yourself too. All it would take would be a tub, some warm water and some dye.

Do not dye it yourself. Silk can shrink a full size or more!

Take it to the tailors or someone and have it cold-water dyed.

I've dyed several clothes, with dylon dye for washing machine, but mostly t shirts, polos, jackets, jeans etc. I also have a silk dress in black and hot pink and want to dye it all black. I'll dye it with dylon for "hand wash" dye.
