Dear Friends Dyes have not been known for fastness until recently
I vividly recall that back in 1979 at an auction in Melbourne my friend bought a beautiful bright scarlet velvet dress from the 1860s. We placed it gently in the back of her car and by the time we got home to Belgrave (about 90 minutes) the entire rear seat of the car was bright red!! Goes without saying that no water ever went near that dress!
