Hi everyone,

I've been waiting for a nearby fabric store to re-stock a specific organza trim for a couple of weeks now. During my last visit, they informed me that I've been waiting for nothing because they're never ever re-stocking that specific trim for no apparent reason whatsoever.

Anyway, they have the same trim in light pink. Is it possible to dye or bleach the light pink organza trim to make it white? I need it in white! Any ideas?

*fingers crossed*

I doubt it.

I'd guess the trim is polyester and you can't do anything about that. You could potentially use acrylic and textile medium - but I'm not sure how that would work with polyester and I don't think you'd get it perfectly white - just lighter pink.

If it's silk, I know you can't use chlorine bleach on it, but I don't know what else might work.


What kind of trim is it ? If they do produce a white version - why not buy that elsewhere or on-line ? Special order ? Make it yourself ?

It's an organza trim with some sequins on it, though I was planning on removing the sequins anyway. That's all the information I have, unfortunately.

Looking elsewhere was my first move. I wouldn't have posted here if I was able to find it online or at another fabric store. I don't have the skills to make it myself. If I did, I would have done so already.

I knew it was a long shot, but thought it was worth asking. Guess I'll have to settle for less. Thanks anyway.

If you started a thread and posted a picture of what you were looking for, someone might know where to get it.

You could take a picture of the pink and ask if anyone's seen where they sell the white.

That's a good idea. I'll snap one next time I'm out there. Thanks.
