My main dying quibble so far is WHY WON'T BROWN COTTON THINGS TURN BLACK INSTEAD OF REALLY REALLY DARK BROWN????? Grar. I may have to have a dying session just to re-overdye a brown skirt with multi-earthtone-color embroidery that I know would look fabulous as a black skirt with black embroidery WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME SKIRT AND TURN BLACK INSTEAD OF STUBBORNLY REMAINING BROWN AND STOP YOUR SNICKERING BROWN PLAID SHIRT THAT STILL HAS VISIBLE PLAIDINESS DESPITE THE BLACK DYE AND AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHH. Yeah.

...I just realized they're both made in India, although that probably means nothing to the dye.
