I do not at all recommend trying to remove darkdark blue dye from linen.
YMMV, but don't count on it!

Oh yes, you're so right, soaking it in bleach overnight is not a good idea, as you illustrated. And it doesn't seem I'd get the color I wanted anyway.

I've found two paintings of women in dark blue dresses of the style I want to make, so I'm not worried about the color being wrong, it's just a personal preference.

I'm wondering if staking it out on the grass for a week under our blistering summer sun would do it.... or if I'd just get mildew and bugs. :)
