HELP! Red dye ran on to white part of multi-colored dress!

It was new!

I just bought this dress for my daughter:

Holland Days

So immediately my mom gives her a cherry tomato that gets on to the dress. ARGH. I soaked it in Oxy Clean and to my horror, the red tulips bled on to the white tulips!

Should I bleach the white tulips bit by bit? Seems dangerous! If I use RIT, will it cause ALL the dyes to bleed? Please help. I'm so sad. It is such a cute dress and she loves it. Hers has long sleeves. It's 100% cotton.

Ugh. I love Gymboree, but I've had problems with some red bleeding, too.

The only suggestion I have would be to use a bleach pen on the white areas.

Good luck!

I thought about a bleach pen, but I was worried because as you saw, there is just so much color. Maybe when I'm really, really alert, in really good light, and my mom has my daughter, and I've fully read up on bleaching multicolored fabrics. Thanks!
