Contrary to popular belief, tie-dyeing was not invented in 1960s America. In fact, the answer to this question surely belongs in the category of pre-history, rather than history, as countless dyers through the ages, in many countries, must have experimented with the use of bindings to create patterns on cloth immersed in vats of dye. Different forms of tie-dye have been practiced in India, Japan, and Africa for centuries. The earliest surviving examples, according to the World Shibori Network, include pre-Columbian alpaca, found in Peru, and silk from fourth century Chinese tombs.
According to Michael Abbott's Indian & Asian Traditional Textiles Website, Indian Bandhani, one traditional form of tie-dyeing, began some 5000 years ago. This craft was not at first practiced on cotton, as cotton has been used in India for perhaps 3000 years.
History of DyesA very handy summary of dye history is Susan Druding's Dye History from 2600 BC to the 20th Century. Unfortunately, her source notes were lost, so she has no references. Bandhani: Indian tie-dye techniqueBandhani, also known as Bandhni and Bandhej, is the oldest tie-dye tradition we know that is still practiced. The Malay-Indonesian name for this technique is 'Plangi'. The technique involves a design made of dots, in which many small points are tied with thread before immersion dyeing. Shibori: Japanese tie-dye (and stitch-dye, fold-dye, and pole wrap-dye)Japanese tie-dye is included among the many techniques of shibori, which has been used for many centuries to make different types of beautiful patterns on cloth used for elaborate kimonos. An excellent resource on this subject is Wada, Rice, and Barton's book, Shibori: The Inventive Art of Japanese Shaped Resist. African Tie DyeIt is well known that tie-dye has traditionally been used in Africa, and there are many modern examples. However, I have never been able to find any reference on the history of this practice, in particular nothing on how long it has been going on. Modern Multi-Color Tie-DyeThe modern technique of simultaneously applying different colors of dye directly to cotton became possible with the development of cold water fiber reactive dyes, which, though introduced to the textile industry in the 1950s, did not become widely available to the art and craft world until later. The first lucky few in the 1960s used Procion MX dye purchased under the trade name of Fibrec, developed and marketed by the late Mike Flynn in San Francisco (reference: Susan Druding, 1997). Others used duller, inferior dyes, or hazardous naphthol dyes, or acrylic paints.what is resist of tie and dye

It all depends on how much cotton is in the fabric, and the dye you are using. The more cotton, the more the dye stays in and the less it fades.

There is no traditional use of tie-dye in wedding ceremonies or parties, but that doesn't mean that you can't add it into yours. If tie-dye is important to you, you can add it into your wedding in many different ways. You can have people wear tie-dye, you can have tie-dye decorations, or you can even have a tie-dye station. Just because it isn't traditional, doesn't mean it's not a good idea.
