When the context is sustainable fashion, ensuring the environment’s safety and human health is considered to hold the utmost significance. Tie-dyeing is one of the most recent and popular resist-dyeing techniques corroborating sustainable fashion. This chapter offers an overview of sustainable fashions with tie-dyeing techniques such as spiral tie-dyeing, binding and knotting, folding and clamping, crumple tie-dyeing, ombre tie-dyeing, knotting and tying, stitching and binding, and striped tie-dyeing, where natural dyes can be used. Here, comparative analyses between conventional and recently emerging techniques have been presented. The chapter provides information on the sustainable alternatives to the tie-dyeing processes that consume excessive amounts of water. Besides, a comprehensive description has been provided of the process of redesigning second-hand clothes by tie-dye.
