Miao Women’s Dress
Dyeing is a traditional craft mastered by the Miao. First, plants used for natural dyes are harvested and processed, after which plain fabric is soaked in the dye. Motifs are often drawn on the fabric with beeswax before dyeing. The wax is then melted and washed away with hot water. Areas coated with beeswax retain the fabric’s original color, allowing for a multitude of patterns.
