The apparel Design Framework (Lamb & Kallal, 1992) is offered as a model for applying the stages in the design process related to dyeing. Paper presented by poster at the 84th Textile Institute Annual World Conference. The creative process of developing one-of-a kind garments lends itself well to natural dyeing.
