So I finally went to the laundromat to lighten my fabric for cosplay. Wet the fabric, add the remover, wait until agitation, add fabric, check fabric. Simple enough. I check it three minutes in and my fabric has gone from bright orange to a deep brown. I...really don't know what happened there. That doesn't even make any color sense to me.

In the end, I'm left with a ruined main component of my cosplay. I thought about maybe trying to re-dye it with a yellow but I have a feeling that won't work very well so I'm just going to start over from scratch. That sucks. But it happens. This cosplay thing is mostly about trial and error anyways. I shudder at the thought of working with that bias tape again. On the bright side, I know more or less what I'm doing this time and I will have the chance to get a properly sized garment (the one I originally had was a tad bit too small).

Sigh. Back to the beginning....
