Unfortunately, I put my shirt in the wash last night and it looks like the blue has bled into the white stripe along the middle. The two photos show before and after. Please can someone recommend how to restore the colours? This is a very sentimental shirt and I would massively appreciate any help!

How do you get color run out of clothes?
Take a white cloth and dampen it with a commercial stain remover, rubbing alcohol, hairspray, or any clear solvent that is 90% alcohol. Dab the stain with the white cloth repeatedly, and the dye should keep transferring from your garment onto the white cloth. Afterward, wash as usual with a couple SHOUT COLOR CATCHER SHEETS. Walmart sells a box of 72 sheets for just under $10.
I always use them in any colored clothing loads. Good Luck.
This shirt will not turn back into the shirt you had before . There are different things to use to brighten or color the full shirt.
You could try the Rit Color Grabber. Good luck.
I would do this:
1. Whitening / removing color from the white part in the center.
2. Protecting the white part from all sides, especially the edge and inside (I would even tape the edges, wrapping it around the fold of the white fabric inward).
