Dip dyeing garments is becoming more and more popular as a fashion trend. It is a simple and cheap process that is popular with manufacturers. This is also known as gradient dyeing. This is when fully-fashioned garments are placed in a dye bath (vessels, buckets, bowls etc.) according to a predetermined area. This repeats over and over again. The garments must be allowed to soak in the dye bath for a maximum of 30 minutes, depending on how much time is needed. The garment will be dyed in a gradient from darkest to most intense shade, depending on the area.
