Garment Dyers Guild of America compiled this information..' Materials to be dyed yellow and tan can only be dyed over very pale shades. The colors of the garments or materials sent "tow dyed grey or light shades must be lighter than the color desired. White materials can be dyed any shade, providing there •re no stains or sunburns. Black can only be re-dyed black. Cor* mroy does not dye black as well as colors. Faded materials as a rule can be dyed several shades darker than their original tones. On materials that are very badly faded, navy blue or black is recommended. There is considerable risk involved in dyeing spots on silks that have been nibbed causing material to be chaffed. All garments should be measured before dyeing.
