HI Claire,
all dyeing is an experiment. On top of that, it’s difficult to get a really dark saturated black. If you are willing to try it, you could dye the dress with the reactive dye available at http://www.dharmatrading.com. You will also need ordinary table salt & soda ash (available from Dharma). Keep in mind, dyeing is a warm-water-and-agitation process, so consider what your dress can take. It may shrink or twist, for example.
good luck,
Jennifer
