I've dyed lots of doll clothes using the Rit DyeMore brand because it's made for synthetic fibers like polyester. I think most doll clothes are made of synthetic materials. However, I don't think you can dye a red shirt to make it blue because blue is a primary color. You would have to a white shirt. If you dye a red shirt with a blue dye, the result will be purple because red and blue mixed together create purple.Last edited by RonnyG; Jul 27, '20, 9:20 PM. -
I recently dyed my Bionic Woman doll's pants navy blue because they had faded to purple over time. It turned out okay. If I had to do it again, I probably would've used less dye because they came out a really dark shade of blue. Lesson learned. Still better than the purple color before.

well doesn't RIT have a color remover to use first? or I suppose you could bleach it, depending on the type of materialComment

I've never tried bleaching or using the color remover prior to dyeing so I don't know about that method.
This is from rit's web page FAQ: Bleach actually damages fabric, making it very difficult to dye. If you still want to try and dye the garment, you could try using Rit Color Remover on the garment before dyeing. However, unfortunately we cannot guarantee this will work.Comment

I've had good luck with color remover, it has worked on both cotton and synthetics for me. Strong bleach solutions can destroy some fabrics.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
