    Greetings all! 🙂
    I’ve been a member for almost ever but I fell off the face of the earth, lol. But now I’m back and I would love to know if any of you have ever tried to dye a Bad Kitty top or shorts. Thinking about getting white and turning it yellow. Can’t wait to hear from you!
    Thanks!

    I imagine this would be difficult to almost impossible since they are synthetic fabrics. you might get disappointing results trying this at home. Natural fabrics like cotton, silk, wool are much easier to dye but even dying those fabrics can be a real headache.

    The fabric in PoleFit Wear is a nylon/spandex, 80%/20% so while it could take on some color, it might not be even or to the color you are really wanting. I love Rit dye which can be found at hobby/craft stores, and sometimes even at the grocery store. https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/tips-for-successful-dyeing/

    Nylon takes dye easily (if you use an acid dye), but spandex is very hard to dye. I would imagine if you tried, a nylon spandex blend would dye unevenly. 🙁

    Thanks all. I don’t know if I’ll end up trying it based on the general concensus. Optionally, any thoughts on where I could get matching yellow (like sun, not neon) top and bottom? 🙂
