So, I wore a black bolero with my peach Vamp top and noticed that the dye from the sweater transferred onto my top! :-(  I am hoping some of you lovely ladies have advice on how to deal with this issue. I'm afraid to simply wash it and set the color, so it's just hanging in the closet for now.

Any and all help/advice would be much appreciated!  -Rima

Thanks for your advice. I did try spot cleaning one area of the top to test if the dye would come out that way with some mild detergent and a toothbrush, to no avail. The top's care instructions say to wash in cold water and hang dry. The procedure described above sounds a bit scary, but unless someone else has a gentler, equally effective option, I may have to risk it!

Maybe spray some Shout stain remover on it and let that set in overnight, then try hand-washing it? If that seems to have any positive effect, repeat the process or even try the machine on the most delicate setting, then air-dry. I am not sure if it is recommended to put something like a stain remover on the Vamp top, but I have had luck with Shout in the past for bad stains. The key is giving it time to set and break through the stain before attempting to wash, though. It can take more than one attempt. Maybe spot test an area first.

Perhaps throw some Oxiclean in the wash, too, if things look desperate. Oxiclean is usually good stuff. (I get a lot of stains on things... I'm super clumsy...)
