Stocking wig from a NZ store?

Like brunetteyes said, I would recommend the FW ink method.
I've used the sharpie method a few times and it always ends up rubbing off on clothes (which would be especially bad if you're doing transformation!Stocking). FW ink ends up being roughly the same amount (since you have to buy several sharpies) and doesn't rub off

In case you haven't found a wig or still considering dying one (or if anyone else is reading) i would not reccomend dying a wig by sharpie! Like brunetteyes said, i coloured a blonde bob-shoulder length wig with purple sharpies (7 mini ones because they were out of regular size), and even breaking them and using the inky fleece tubes inside to rub over the wig took 3, almost 4 hours. Rubbing is much faster than colouring like a pen, and is easier, but still takes heaps of time and it didn't give great overall coverage. In some parts it looked like i had light purple highlights. I also had a fringe and by the end of the day i had purple sharpie stains on my forehead that took some fair scrubbing to remove Neutral

i also got pretty high off the fumes, not too good before a con Neutral

do the FW technique, always! Slightly more expensive but its the smarter choice 8)
/sorry for wall of txt i tend to ramble :<

^ I think ur wig still looked good though. It still looked soft and the highlights gave it a more natural feel :) Sucks about the forehead though D:
