Would this work to get rid of bleach "stains?

OK, so my mom fvcked up my favorite polos (all four of them in one wash!!!)...There are bleach stains all over them.. Would this work:

1) Soak them all in bleach over night or for a week or whatever so that they're all evenly bleached (remove all color if possible

2) Dye them with black dye

3) touch the slightly less dark patches with permanent marker

4) Wash

5) dye them again

I know this sounds like I'm being cheap but I'm pretty broke right now and these were $40 shirts
 
Nope, you leave them in bleach for any long period of time and you can forget about having those 4 polos, bleach will break down fabric till it falls apart.

Nope you are screwed.

Why is your mom doing your laundry?
 
Just get new shirts. I assume that since your mom does your laundry for you, she probably also pays for your clothes.

My mom doesn't usually do the laundry for me but I've had the flu (and still do).. And, no, she doesn't pay for my clothes.. I love how you guys like to judge though..

This is true. I use bleach stained shirts as work shirts and it only takes 4 or 5 washes before the bleach spots wear away and become holes instead of stains. It's not so bad if you dilute the bleach first.
 
If you dye them, then the spots where the bleach took the color will be lighter then the rest of the shirt. No matter what you do now, it will be noticable.

I'm sorry for you.

Get a paintbrush and bowl of bleach and paint stripes in the shirt - you'll be the coolest thing since peeing in your pants.
