Oh that's a tough one, try a concentrated dye along the seams and then redye the entire bodice. It's best if you can dye the fabric before it's sewn together.

I use Apple Barrel colors and add it to the fabric medium by plaid. You can get it at Hobby Lobby. Then I use an airbrush, but a flat even bristle wash brush will work just as well, but it might take you a couple of coats to get it all even. Good Luck.
