Happy New Year everyone. Just a very brief update to tell you the outcome of the red colour problems. I did a quick hand soak on the white undies in my normal liquid which removed almost all of it, and then into the washing machine with the normal wash plus one of the colour catches (in the same net bag). Almost completely pure white again and its fine, I think the next wash will remove any last minute amount of colour. I have just taken the cotton red top out of the machine where it was washed with my burgundy tablecloth, my previously washed hand made ruby napkins with lace trim and 2 well washed red jumpers. I again put the top in with 2 of the colour catcher sheets and it is looking good, white insert and red top. I had previously emailed the company and got a reply saying if I thought it was faulty I could return the top to the shop for a refund or exchange, so decided I had nothing to loose my following their washing instructions (along with our own ideas and caution). If it had gone wrong I would have returned it with the email and receipt or made a new insert (once I was happy it wouldn't bleed onto that which would have been a much bigger disaster) but as it is I can continue to wear it in the future. Thank you for your good ideas and advice.
