Linea by Louis Dell'Olio

I ordered A254436 when it came up as an LTS in black and lapis. Lapis is going back. It isn't colorfast; my skin is blue.

Oh, no! I'm sorry to hear that. I've had some jeans turn me blue and it was not fun.

Did you wash it before wearing it?  I wash everything before I wear it because of the insect spray when items are being brought into the US.

I've had those tops for a long time and love them. Sorry yours didn't work out.

I'm still having this problem  but I knew it was going to be an issue after my blue set turned my washer tub blue on my pre wash.  I reported my experience to Louis in detail but then decided to keep the blue set anyway. Its been less with each wash but a definite problem from the get go.  Too bad.  Glad you are sending yours back.

I really hate that the color is bleeding and it doesn't look like its a very dark blue either!! I do not own this top.

I also as a precaution, soak certain items in cold water before washing-- just in case the dye does bleed. I keep switching out the water until the water is relatively clear and then I put into the washing machine.

I have this top andd skirt in the blue and red since it first came out and haven't had this problem. It's very strange because the colors are so light to begin with. I wonder why some bleed and some don't?

No I did not pre-wash it. Had I, all the other like colors would have had the dark blue dye transferred onto them. This would be a far more costly as I would have to replace all of the stained garments.

Wash it by itself!

The shirt is on its way back to the Q for a full refund, including shipping because of the lack of colorfastness. Since it bled on me, it might never become colorfast, meaning a separate wash load for one top every time? Not practical. I've seen this happen with my yarns.
