I had this happen on one of DD's shirts. I rewashed it a couple of times with Synthrapol. The last wash I also sprayed it with Shout prewash. All the excess color came out.
I'm only offering this as a suggestion. No guarantees.

thank you eileen, gosh that sounds weird because i am also eileen i posted it once but not sure if you read it. anyway what is synthrapol i have never heard of it i do not do a lot of hand dyeing of fabric. and also after looking at it in a different light it is still only under the arms which came from sweat will that still work for sweat or should i try something else
thanks for your reply

I'd saturate it with the Shout and try that. I can't think of anything else. That stuff works miracles for me.

i'm trying it now and will let know i didn't have shout but i have a stain remover called zout here is hoping it will work i just bought this shirt not more than 2 weeks ago and have only worn it twice. and my boss just reinforced the dress code so i cant wear all of my tee shirts that i use to during the summer. hope you are staying cool in ny eileen i heard it was hot there

Zout works wonders, especially on white uniforms.
