Garment dyeing, one of the finishing operations, allows the manufacturer to produce special color effects that may not be feasible from continuous processed fabric. The demand from retailers for rapid response to fashion and color changes has resulted in some specialty garment manufacturers producing products. That can meet this requirement using fabric that has been previously prepared for dyeing when the garment is made. The made-up garments, then processed to their respective colors by specialized garment dyers. Thus, short runs of a specific product are therefore possible with the advantage of more economical garment production when only an uncolored fabric is being used. This reduces wastage and lowers the cost of stock when only a single fabric type is required.

Normally we dye fiber, yarn, or fabric. Then dyed and finished will use for making garments. In the case of garment dyeing, the garments will make from grey fabric and then the garments are dyed in the required color and shade.
