    Could you sew on some beads or sequins over the bleach? Get customising!


    Its in a bit of a weird place to put sequins just above the middle. Im going to try the idea of using felt tips, I dont have any here so off to shops 2morro.

    You can get fabric pens that might be better and not wash out.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    If the cost of going into town to the shops then buying fabric pens is more than £7.99 just go and buy a new new dress!

    If its just above the middle, how about putting "belts" of ribbon sewed around it - in a contrasting colour, thereby hiding it?

    I've used fabric marker pens and paint successfully to disguise bleach marks.

    I consider them my best wardrobe investment!

    Take a look at this older thread - there may be more tips :)

    I'll merge this later to keep ideas together.
