I recently bought a beautiful wedding dress that is everything I dreamed it would be. Unfortunately, it was the last of that model in stock and I have my heart set on an Ivory gown (this gown is white). The people at the bridal shop gave mentioned that I could get the dressed dyed in order to match the color that I want. Has anyone done this? What store/shop/individual did it for you? They mentioned that different fabrics would dye differently, but didn't have a lot of information on the process and outcome. It sounds so risky but Ivory is so much more attractive and flattering.
All help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm a designer and I can tell you that there are no garantees
when dying a ready made gown. The thread and beads may not dye
the same as the rest of the gown. Because of this reason there is almost no one left in the business of dying ready made clothing.
Keep looking for your gown.........you wil find your dream gown
out there without having to risk ruining something you have already paid for.
