WHY NOT? It's my b-day present. I should be able to ask whatever I want, if I really want it, for my B-day.
One day, you're going to want a scientist to help you with sperm, and I'm going to be the only one, but I'm going to tell you to go to heck.

How does a white shirt get mixed in with a red dress? The world may never know. Next time be more careful. The shirt is ruined unless you like the color pink. Go out and buy another white t-shirt, and keep the red dresses away from it on laundry day.

If you put straight bleach on it (instead of bleach mixed in with the wash water), that would probably get the pink out; problem is, it would also degrade the shirt fibers, if you didn't deactivate the bleach.
I've heard that hydrogen peroxide deactivates bleach, so you might try CAREFULLY rinsing the shirt in chlorine bleach, then following with a water rinse, THEN with a hydrogen peroxide bath. How much do you want to save this shirt?
Please keep animals and small children away from this project, if you decide to take it on!

Sometimes after washing it over several times, the pink fades out. My husband and son had to wear pink socks and underwear once. LOL
Also, try white vinegar. Also, I've never tried it, but I hear Oxy Clean works.

It happened to me once. Believe it or not, i actually loved it when it turned pink more than when it was white.
I also tried to use bleach but didn't work. Try to love it or get a new one.

Nope, not ruined, just find an outfit that needs a pink t-shirt.

If it was your fav t shirt, and you cannot get another one like it, then try going to walmart, and getting something in the laundry isle, made by Rit, it is for fixing problems like this, if it is too badly pinked up, try dying it white again.

Usually the dye sets in when you dry it, so it's best to catch these things right out of the washer, and bleach it when it is still wet. Now you will know for next time. Don't worry it happens to most people.

There's a product that you'll find where you can by Rit Dye (supermarket, WalMart etc.) that's called something like Color Out. That's probably not the right name but it's made for this problem. I've never used it but had a neighbor who tried it and it worked.

It will stay pink unless you dye it a different color . Wear it that way , there aren't many t-shirts . Besides I think it would look good on you
