Re: Experience dying a costume - lycra..anyone?

nylon can be dyed, poly cannot. You won't be able to tell until you try. But at home, the only dyes you can purchase that i know of that will do nylon require high heat (boiling, some do steaming). That will definitely ruin any sequins, they will melt. Same with any plastic beads.

I personally wouldn't try to dye an already constructed and beautifully beaded costume....it's just too iffy. MHO
