Help! I Stained a NEW DRESS!!

I went to Gymboree and splurged on a great new dress for my daughter. The FIRST TIME it went into the wash, I washed it with a load of other clothes, including a light blue shirt that had been washed before, and I wouldn't have expected it to bleed. Anyway, the blue shirt left blue marks all over the new pink dress! I tried treating the stains with Oxy-Clean and rewashing it, but it did nothing. Any suggestions, or is this a lost cause? I am so bummed!

What can I do next?

When something bleeds I don't think you can get it out unless it is all white then you can bleach it. You can call a cleaners and ask if you can redye it and if they have any suggestions.

I use Shaklee nature bright, and the laundry detergent. It works wonders. If you are intrested send me a message and I can get you some. You can go to Shaklee.com and check it out.

i have found that zout or awsome stain remover (which you can get at the $ store), works wonders. My neice got red finger nail polish all over her brand new pink dress so my sister in law brought it over and I put the awsome on it and wash it(repeat it until the color is out). If that does not work, try to match the color to store bought dye, and just brush the diluted dye (dilute with water) over the blue until the color bleeds out and then follow dye directions for the washer. Hope it helps.

In the same area as the die I've seen this color sucker stuff, that is supposed to take the extra die that doesn't belong out. Also, I think there are these color catching sheets. I'd suggest to look in the laundry section, Good luck
