Be sure to follow the label instructions and wash seperately, especially the first time. Jeesh! I rinsed this thing about 10 times and it still left purple water in the sink! It reminds me of when we used to tie-dye clothes when we were kids, using that cheap dye that bled everywhere. I tried soaking this outfit in vinegar and water at first to set the dye...maybe it made it worse! Anyway, use gloves when washing for the first time...my fingers are lightly stained now.
