Definitely depends on where the stains are, but it'd be much quicker than dying the onesies. Rit dye is definitely the best. </p> <p>You could also sew embellishments on the onesies--like little tutus on the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296771 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 18:03:36 +0000 BSB 296771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, you should dye it. </p> <p>If the stains are in the chest area, you could put a sew-on or an iron on patch over the stain. </p> <p>Like this one... <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/104048217/pair-of-pumpkins-large-iron-on-applique" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/104048217/pair-of-pumpkins-large-iron-on-applique</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296768 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:54:49 +0000 tequiero21 296768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it, do it, do it!

Depending on where the stains are, and if they even show up after dying them, you could put some appliques on them. So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296760 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:39:57 +0000 immabeetoo 296760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe tie dying would help hide the stains? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296748 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:25:49 +0000 Boogs 296748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would, and love the blog post idea!

You can experiment with hues - it could be fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296718 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:44:12 +0000 Arden 296718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it! It's easy, and fun. I use RIT dye. I also used it to dye the crinoline for my wedding!</p> <p>Just make sure you wash them two or three times when you are done to make sure they don't bleed later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296717 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:43:51 +0000 Rubies 296717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, totally!

I would try a few to see how they turn out. If it looks good, then do the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296678 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:30:57 +0000 chopsuey 296678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would dye or just have olive wear them at home! (undyed) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296677 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:29:29 +0000 Sammyfab 296677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally would! I dyed a dress purple once and it turned out amazing! I used rit dye. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296674 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:20:46 +0000 MamaMoose 296674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might as well try it with a few of them to see how it goes. No use wasting them if Olive can get good use out of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296671 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:17:17 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 296671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! Totally would other than everything I've ever tried to dye turned out in a major fail. If they don't turn out well then you can use them as rags at that point? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-dye-charlies-old-white-onesies-for-olive#post-296666 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 15:13:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 296666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am switching out summer clothes for winter clothes this weekend, and I came across 30+ Charlie's old white Carter's onesies. I was just going to use them as rags because most of them have stains on them, but I was thinking.... I could dye them a dark color for Olive?</p> <p>They're still in pretty good condition other than the stains. The ones that were in poor condition were made into rags long ago.</p> <p>What say you... dye? Or not worth it? </p>
