I used hydrogen peroxide to remove a stain from a white shirt and it turned the fabric yellow. How do I get it white again?

Try denture cleaner, prepare according to instructions for dentures and just soak the part where the stain is. I know this works for cloth that is yellowed by age, so maybe it will work on a yellow stain.
You might check out Rit Dye. They make a product that takes all color out of an item, rendering it completely white. If your blouse has any colors on it though, it would also take these colors out.
There is a product in the laundry isle called Mrs Stewarts "bluing". It also works on white clothes that have become grey and dingey over time. Works well.
I would find out what material you are dealing with. If you have rayon or something like that, it will not stand the same sort of stain treatment that cotton will. I suspect this shirt is not just cotton or polycotten, as peroxide does not turn cotton yellow.
I had a tiny spot on the color of my 100% cotton blouse and poured peroxide on the spot, the spot disappeared and now I have a huge yellow spot ....so looks like I ruined the shirt.
I have a 100% cotton tshirt that turned yellow with HPeroxide
Oh yes it does! I have 100% cotton sheets, put some peroxide on and in sun and BAM! it's yellow!
I use hydrogen peroxide for most of my whites especially blood stains .. it eats it right out of any carpet or fabric .. however, I was disappointed when it did turn an all cotton white expensive shirt yellow.
YES, Peroxide DOES turn cotton yellow. I had three new cotton dish towels that I spilled red wine on. I applied peroxide on the stains, rinsed with cold water and laid in the sun.
