If you want a very specific area dyed, I recommend using just paint instead. Dye, markers... all that will bleed. A sharpie may bleed less, but I recommend testing it on scrap fabric first.
Depending on the shape, you can embroider fabric onto the base fabric, as well. That tends to look very nice and can be neater than paint/dye.

And forget dying anything if it is synthetic. Won't work.

you can dye a shape with out bleeding, but paint is less trouble. If you want to dye it, you need a resist, like gutta or wax, and it can be hard to get the resist out.

I think the paint would be a lot easier. I'm in the same fix. i have to make hand sized flowers and multiple rectangles onto a handmade kimono. (and splatter blood over a white one) But I think paint works, but if the area you want to be colored is large, use the fabric markers until about an inch from the edge that you want then I would use the fabric paint.

if you only wanna wear it a few times or wash it you could just dye patches and glue them on or you could sew them of your that good. Or if you have the money you could dye just small patches and velcrow them on to the outfit but i don't know how muhc that will cost

Hmm... My sister has these things called "Color Box: Petal Point pigment option pads". It's basically a box with eight different colored petal-shaped ink pads in it. We used them to do the designs on one of my costumes. You can get them at JoAnn's. You just use it, let it dry overnight, and then iron it to set the ink. I haven't tried washing it yet, so I don't know if it actually set it correctly. But if you need to make a design you can make your own stamp out of foam glued to a piece of cardstock or something. Then just use the dye or even paint. Makes them all uniform and look the same. ^_^
