I want to have a top dyed to match my skirt!

*flutterby*

I bought a gorgeous Coast linen skirt from a car boot sale last week and can't find a top to match it anywhere.

I just want some very plain, a strappy vest would even do but I want it the same colour as the silk embroidery on the skirt.

Anyone know where I could get something dyed to match exactly?

I know all about the dyes you can get to do at home but I want it exact and it's a very unusual aqua, turquoisey, bluey, green colour!

thanks in advance

Not sure how you would go about finding someone with experience in dye mixing that can recreate colours, I think it would take a lot of trial and error as the stuff in the bucket always looks different when applied to the fabric.
You could try going to a clothing fabric retailer and buying a suitably coloured material and getting someone to make up the garment you want or learn to do it yourself.

Try google for a wedding outfit supplier or similar. They may be able to help as they often dye shoes & handbags to match outfits. I was looking into it last year for shoes, but in the end changed the dress instead :rolleyes: I'm pretty sure one of them dyed fabric too.

Last time I was looking for a strappy top to match aqua shoes and bag I found that H&M had loads on a rack that were a variety of colours and reasonable prices.

Or have you tried fabric shops and the thought of making up your own top if you can get the fabric?
