please help with fabric/coat question
Permalink Closed

i am so confused and don't know what to do. 


i got this new coat that i am obsessed with--it's beautiful and long-ish and a rich dark red color.  it was the only one left in my size.


the problem is: the color is running!  i noticed it because i had it hanging next to a white raincoat in my closet, and pink rubbed off onto it in several places.  i went over the coat with an old towel this morning, and LOTS of red rubbed off. 


i am afraid to wear it because i don't want to ruin my clothes, but at the same time i think i will die if i have to return it.  i called the shop and he said that hadn't happened to any others and maybe that i should scotchguard it or dryclean it before wearing, but that if it doesn't help i should just bring it back.


is there anything i can do? any sprays that would seal the color? i would like to try that before dry cleaning, because i don't know that that will really help.

i say go to the dry cleaners and ask them if they can do anything, if not maybe you got a bad coat?!?!  surely we can find another coat in your size.  that stinks.

it has to be this coat.  i am not ready to give up on it yet. 


does anyone have any experience with the spray called "sizing"? i just read that it seals the fabric pores and can stop excessive dye-bleeding, but that you shouldn't use it on dry-clean only fabrics...
