hmmm well I've never done this before but I know some people dye their own lace. Maybe you could look into it?

[sarahmelyne]

yes yes yes I did ! but I'm a little bit afraid ! I don't know if I could do that T_T I had in mind to buy Kuboriki lace and dye it but I'm really afraid of failing it T_T

I think you could try on a little scrap of lace beforehand. And you could go with any kind of fabric dye I believe... just dilute it down to get a softer color maybe?

[jackie_faye]

To get a softer color, you leave it in the dyebath for less time. For a richer color, you leave it in longer.

Also, the only synthetic that can be reliably dyed is nylon. If the lace is polyester or acetate, then it's going to turn out badly.

It's not lace, but I've had a very easy time dying BJD wigs with Rit. It's SUPER EASY.

Someone mentioned dye - and after coming across the same problem as you, I was considering trying this myself actually! And if you go to the RIT dye website, they have recipes for 500 colors using their line of dye. Someone mentioned in another discussion that it would be best to use the powdered dye and the stovetop method, but the website is full of information! Use cheap lace to experiment on. I think I may do this soon. ^^
