Where can I find someone to dye my clothing for me?

There are few businesses willing to do custom dyeing-to-order these days. Among those that still exist, most are hand dyers who are willing to do custom tie-dyeing.

If your garment is 100% polyester, just forget it. Nobody wants to dye it for you. Polyester is difficult and unpleasant to immersion-dye a single solid color, and the customer is generally unwilling to pay the cost of the materials, effort, and the risk that the garment will be destroyed by the extended boiling required.

There are two types of custom dyers listed here: those who will redye your premade garment a different color, and those who will custom dye a new garment to your specifications.

The following companies or individuals have registered their contact information as given below....


Garment Redyers: changing the color of clothing you already have

To get your garment redyed, you will have to mail it to one of the following three locations. First study the web sites listed below, and use email or the telephone to make sure that what you want done is possible and that the price is acceptable to you.

    http://www.tiedyejudy.com and tiedyejudy.etsy.com


    I do individual custom orders all the time, mainly shirts or other cotton clothing items. I am best suited for small orders, say 1-10 of a particular pattern, and my specialty is low water immersion dyeing. I ship anywhere in the U.S. Contact info is on my website.

    Generations Tie Dye
    www.generationstiedye.etsy.com and www.generationsmomnbaby.etsy.com


    Mostly I dye tees, but I've also done skirts, kids' hoodies, maternity, baby and toddler clothes, and even pillowcases. I don't generally have space to do large stuff like tablecloths or bedspreads. I'm in the Washington DC Metro area but I can ship, and I have a shop on Etsy - two now, actually, one more for baby stuff since I have so much of it!

    Most of my orders are for one or two things at a time; I haven't done more than two, actually, but I could probably handle up to 5 without losing track of the process. LOL Best contact info would be via conversation ("convo") on Etsy or at generationstiedye @verizon.net.
