Hi Vivi:

Am I understanding that you have veils in some other color that you'd like to redo in teal? Changing colors will be very difficult. First you would need to remove whatever dye is already in the fabric. You can't use bleach because bleach will completely destroy the silk (as in disintegrate it into little pieces). There are dye discharge/removal products that will work on certain dyes, but you probably don't know what kind of dye was used to make your veils. These products are mostly meant to discharge patterns or correct small mistakes. Also, these products are probably not going to take the fabric back to pristine white, which means the subsequent dye will be muted or muddy to some extent.

So my advice would be not to try to change the color of veils you already have.

I'm not trying to sell you any of my silk veils because I don't do circles. But honestly, you would be better off trying to find someting to purchase that could be express shipped to you. Maybe Jesennia has some circular veils in stock.
