Hi All,

I would be grateful for advice as to whether white polyester fabric (polyethylene terephthalate, identified by FTIR) can be dyed, and, if so, what special conditions would apply.

The fabric in question is my wife's wedding dress, which she would like to "repurpose" for a family wedding next year.

Thank you.

All the best,

Jamie
