please some help me...I am having my bridesmaids dye their shoes to match their dresses. Does this cause the shoes to shrink? I have heard this before but not sure if it's true. I was told they shrink a 1/2 size. Help me true or false????

      If you are doing this for your wedding. I highly recommend you take the shoes to a shoe repair place... dyeing at home, when you haven't done it, can lead to splotchy results.. or impermanent dye that will rub off on things like furniture, dresses, etc. You'll be much happier having a pro handle this one..
