Don't love any of those spots...

Oh, the spots are everywhere!! There's lots of work to get done!!

I began with some dye. The only way to try to help hide these spots is coating them with some good old dye! I picked a green/blue medley that was polyester friendly...

...and tossed everything into the washing machine. Post-wash, my dress was a gorgeous seafoam green! The super dark spots didn't go anywhere, so I trimmed the bottom portion of the dress short.

I am OBSESSED with how the sparkly area turned out. It was a bluish shade that was the perfect complement to the seafoam green.

It's always so cool to see how different fabrics dye!
