Agreed, but since we've had a few recent threads on toxic chemicals, I'd like caution anyone who decides to dye something to handle the dye with caution, wear rubber gloves, and to rinse the finished garment THOROUGHLY to get rid of any loose dye substance. Dyes, especially some of the kinds we use at home, can be really toxic.
Also, depending on the brand of dye used, it could come off of the body stocking when you're wearing it and be absorbed into the skin, especially if you get hot and sweaty. So, I'd urge folks with colored body stockings to minimize how long you allow them to stay in contact with your skin. I'm realistic enough to know that most people will decide to wear them anyway (and I too wear them anyway), but just bear in mind it's best to wait to put it on until you NEED to, and to take it off as soon as possible after dancing.
