dyeing bra help
After searching and searching I have given up on finding a "nude" bra that will work for me. Even when some nudes look okay inside when I go outside it shows thru bad because they are too light. So I did some reading and for all my stupidity I never thought about dyeing a bra to match.
Have any of you ever dyed a bra? If I dye a white bra does the dye have to be a little darker than what you want for it to come out right? Any comments are welcome because I just simply have never done this before to clothing anyways. ;D

I actually just dyed my Deco and a VS BBV full coverage bras with espresso. I uses about 1 cup of grounds with boiled water and about 1 cup white distilled vinegar. Let the bras steep but after boiling the water, though it does need to be hot when you immerse them. Let it sit for 2 hours, drain, rinse with cold water, then I actually just threw them in the machine with a little soap and cold water. Make sure the bras are hooked and use a delicate cycle. I have a portable washer...I can wash wool sweaters without them shrinking/felting, that's how delicate it is. They still do smell like coffee a bit, but I don't mind. And caffeine is good for your skin anyhow =) I was going to get the Rit dye but it cannot be used on polyester.
Coffee?! My fave drink in all the world? Wow! Can you describe the colour it came out as? I'd rather go with this if possible. I have allergies to certain dyes so doing this would belay alot of my fears in this regard.
