I know someone who has a satin and lace dress and some bleach got spilled on it. She wanted me to ask if it would be safe to dye it.She paid $200.00 for it.

The dress is royal blue.

Bleach removes color and it is next to impossible to make it 100% correct again. Since the dress is royal blue, I think the only color option for dye would be something darker, like midnight blue or black. Satin and lace will take the dye, but, it is no easy task to dye a large garment at home. Go to the store (like WalMart) and find the RIT dye products and read the label. You'll see what I mean.
Since the dress was so expensive to begin with, it would probably be worth the money to take it to a professional for advice and possible treatment options. Try the nearest dry cleaners. The people there are magicians with this kind of stuff.
Good luck!

Satin And Lace Dress

check the fiber content by doing a burn test on a scrap of both the satin and the lace.
Different materials take dye differently and if the satin is acetate and the lace is polyester you run the risk of having the dress come out two different colors. Not to mention, you'd have to do some kind of color removal for the entire dress for the bleached and non-bleached areas to match.
A better idea might be to take it to a tailor or alterations shop to see if the dress can somehow be recut to hide the bleached parts.
edited to ad: Lynn's advice is probably better than mine, see what a really good cleaner can do.

Dye does not take well to synthetic fabrics and secondly dye must be dissolved and fabric soaked in very hot water, neither is suitable for satin material. If a pro. dry cleaner cannot help. perhaps a permanent marker in a similar color may help, if the discoloration is in an inconspicuous place. Nothing to lose if nothing else will work.
